Due to the power outage that has been going on for 3 days, we can’t be at what we call home. AC is off, lights are off, oven is off and refrigerators are off with no food since became bad due to no cooling and cooking. It’s outrageous that this situation has been going on for 72 hours and there is no solution yet. Kindly asking please take care of our neighborhood since we have kids that have their own necessities too. Thank you in advance.
