Okay so some good news:

I am once again floored by the generosity of this community and grateful for every single one of you. We've raised $4,132 since last night.

Not Good news:

After all the subsidies, refunds, discounts and the companies competing for this job, it's still going to cost me AT LEAST $15,000 to fix this.

Without going into too many details, the fuckup is so severe that I need to hire a lawyer, which I also do not have money for.

C'est la vie, but I am so, so grateful I have this community to fall back on. Thank you for everything you have done so far, and thank you for helping me.

My Furnace Broke :(

Hi kids, it's your favorite storytelling chicken, and my Furnace has decided to die. It also decided to take the A/C unit out with it.

This is both very expensive to fix, and also kind of urgent: the more observant of you may have noticed that it is November, and getting onto winter here in the Rockies.

Look at this little man, huddling on my feet for warmth.

I have *some* emergency funds, but not enough to cover even a temporary fix, and that's also the fund that vet, medical, and car repair bills come out of, all of which I've had too much of this year.

I'm currently pitting four HVAC companies against each other to get the best offer possible, and getting the paperwork done for state subsidies, refunds and other discounts, but I still need your help.

Thank you all, everything you can do helps.
