Helen Kinmon is a disabled woman living in Tulsa with her daughter and grandson.  Her daughter is a full-time student so Helen’s meager monthly disability check must be stretched as far as possible to support the three of them. This means scrimping and doing with out many of life’s day-to-day needs.
Using all the energy saving tricks she knew, Helen was still averaging a monthly gas bill of at least $250.00.  Helen knew she could not afford the high gas costs nor afford home weatherization.

Desperate for help, she contacted C.A.R.D. The weatherization crew replaced 14 old wooden windows, replaced the front and back door, insulated walls and attic spaces, installed CO and smoke detectors, installed combustion air pipes in her hot water heater closet, caulked and painted all the exterior trim, wrapped her water heater tank with an insulation blanket and provided sealing/patching through out her home.

C.A.R.D. also replaced her old inefficient heating system with a new energy efficient unit.  The improvements provided and coordinated by the C.A.R.D. weatherization team made her home more comfortable and substantially reduced her gas and electric bills an average of $90.00 a month. Now, Helen and her family have the financial ability to meet those day-to-day needs.
