#DirectAid #HelpFolksLive #TriCitiesMutualAid Help a Virginia family keep their phone service! "My parents and younger sisters in Wise recently moved out from my grandpa's house and are renting for the first time. They're having a rough time with bills, one of which being their overdue balance with their phone provider who just shut off their service. To get service turned back on, they need a partial payment of about $340 by the 20th. Literally any amount given will help with the situation. Thank you all so much!!" venmo: @Thomas-Thacker-11

A virginia neighbor shared with us that their family's phone bill was behind enough that service got cut off. Phone service is huge for navigating life in current year, if they have service they can be in a better position to stay on top of other bills.
