Claire Dube is in her young 90’s and a resident of Swampscott. We caught up with Claire as she was meeting with our Home Energy staff for open hours at the Swampscott Senior Center. After going over her application, she was kind enough to chat with us about her experience.
How did you hear about LEO? Right here, at the Senior Center! There was an outreach event a few years ago, maybe 2016.
How do you find the application process? It’s not hard for me, but you do have to pay attention to details. Moreover, don’t throw things away! I throw things away all the time.
How does Home Energy Assistance help you? Heating help is fantastic! I started this year with a credit. It’s great. This, together with SNAP, and I feel good.
Claire is a retired crossing guard, her husband was employed by the Town of Swampscott, her children were civil servants. Caring for our aging community is our responsibility.
We could have talked longer but Claire had bingo to run and a knitting circle to attend.
