You might want to check with your county job & family services office, too. Our fridge decided to quit on us on Memorial Day weekend last year, just a month after we moved into our house. We went without a fridge for over a month. It was ridiculous. My brother brought us his mini-dorm fridge to use, thankfully. And our neighbors lent us their camper cooler that plugs in. But through doing some calling around to the Salvation Army and Goodwill, we came across a county program that even helps you with broken down vehicles, purchase of new (used) vehicles, stoves, refrigerators, etc. to families who qualify. It's income contingent, but it's worth checking into. I wish I could remember the name of the program. But I'm in Stark County. Lorain might have something similar, though. So it's worth doing some calling around. Good luck!!
