  • I have no cash to spare at the moment but hopefully some helpful words. Some cities have emergency protections with power companies to avoid shutoffs in winter months for those who can’t afford it, so if it becomes an issue come next month that might be an option, depending on where they are.

    There’s also a federal program called LIHEAP that provides payment assistance for power bills. You don’t have to own the home to get assistance. They could look to that for longer term help, too.



  • Boy abducted from California in 1951 at age 6 found alive on East Coast more than 70 years later

    Luis Armando Albino was 6 years old in 1951 when he was abducted while playing at an Oakland, California park. Now, more than seven decades later, Albino has been found thanks to help from an online ancestry test, old photos and newspaper clippings.

    In an interview with the news group, she (his niece) said her uncle “hugged me and said, ‘Thank you for finding me’ and gave me a kiss on the cheek.”
