In late September of this year, we launched our Ugliest Heater Contest. Of all the great submissions, five finalist were chosen and voted on by the public. Of those five finalists, one winner was announced. That winner was Eileen of Somers Point.
Although Eileen had an overwhelming amount of the votes to win the contest, she also had a back story that we felt we needed to share; given the nature of her ordeal! Take a moment and read Eileen's story...
Eileen purchased her house in Somers Point in October 2016. By the end of the first year, her heater failed and she was left with NO heat! When asked about how the heater could fail so quickly in a house that she just purchased, Eileen explained, "Yes I had a home inspection, and yes, it passed. But if I would have been more aggressive, I would have known the heater was 35 years old. I was too naive and being a widow, I didn't know what to ask." Unfortunately, this happens all to often...but Eileen's woes were just beginning...
Eileen also went on to tell us how she tried to save for a new heater, but unfortunately her daughter got sick, required 2 surgeries and encountered many unexpected expenses. Obviously, Eileen's priority was to get her daughter healthy and tend to her medical needs; the new heater needed to wait! To compound the problem, Eileen was also scheduled to have surgery before the end of the year for a mass on her shoulder...she needed help! Medical issues and an ugly heater that is broken are not a good combination!
But we're not done yet! Our Holiday Heater Giveaway just wrapped up and we are currently interviewing the final candidates for the FREE heater giveaway...we are not done making families in need happy for the holidays...stay tuned!
