Because my attic is not insulated the home is rather warm.  I have retired (only 53) and not able to pay for the work needed to insulate and complete the attic. I am a single female.  My room air conditioners (5 of them)  needs replacing due to the heavy workload of cooling the home. There needs to be heating during the winter months also.

My home was built in 1993 (frame, plumbing, electrical, windows and exterior finishing).  I completed the other work that nows need replacing or completing.  Stair railing, new flooring, window repair, attic floor, attic insulation,etc.

I am a black female, 53 years of age.  On May 3, 2004 I retired from the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections with 20 years of service as a Corrections Master Sergeant.  Formely for the 10 years prior I was a secondary school teacher for the Dade County Public School System.

I am a 1974 graduate of Southern University with a B.S. Degree in Education.  Born in Ethel, LA and reared in Baton Rouge, LA,  a 1970 graduate of Scotlandville Senior High School in Baton Rouge, LA.

I am presently living on a small pension income and have several health problems (diabetes, high blood pressure, glucoma) and have not been able to secure a job.  The reason I retired was due too the long hours(12) and stress of Corrections.
