My air conditioning unit had been broken for less than an hour, and the house was already getting hot and humid.
I called the HVAC company, but they had no one available until the following day.
I had a newborn baby girl, and I couldn’t keep her in the house without any air conditioning. I looked out and realized there was an HVAC technician at my neighbor’s house. I went over and knocked on her door. She cooed over the baby as she was letting me in. I asked if I could talk to her HVAC technician. She agreed if I would let her hold the baby. I walked outside and asked him if he could work on my air conditioner. I told him I was a single mom with a newborn, but the HVAC company said they had no one available to work on my air conditioner. He told me he was stuck in the yard working on this one. He had two more houses to go to, and he couldn’t just skip them. I was pleading with him to please help me and fix my air conditioning unit. I knew he was uncomfortable, but it wasn’t safe for my daughter. He finally told me he would return and work on the air conditioning unit, but it wouldn’t be until 6PM. I thanked him profusely, but I couldn’t take my baby back to that house. I asked my neighbor if we could stay here until the HVAC technician came back. She told me to get everything I needed for the baby and then come back. She was babysitting until I returned.
