“Asking for help can be so hard, but from the first visit with my FaDSS worker… I felt like I had someone who would listen and who thought and said I did many things right. She helps me see options and she has connected me with so many things in my community that I didn’t even know about.”

I didn’t realize how much work you guys put into the visits and activities until you started bringing the activity bags. I wish I would have been in this program with my older children. I didn’t think it could help me or my family but I see now that I missed out on information that would have been helpful with my older kids. You guys need to do a follow-up of the children who are in your program after they graduate from school.

I used LIHEAP 2 winters (maybe 2016 too for heat assistance I can’t remember) but being a single mom I did get almost the max at the time, $560 a season I think. My budget billing was $145 so it did carry me through November to March fairly well although I paid small amounts monthly as suggested. The Weatherization was awesome. I got the house fully insulated-attic to basement (4 levels!), a new basement exterior exit door (the old one was not airtight or good for security) And the contractor actually BUILT the door for me as it was not a standard size or thickness. And a new furnace. They weather stripped my other 2 exterior doors too. All the contractors sent to do the work were personable, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful… Just an awesome program. It helped me so much. I spread the word when I can. I always do. Since then I have done much work to the house and the value has doubled! No doubt the Weatherization improvements helped that tremendously!!
