We read so much bad news that I ran across this article and thought it was such a giving thing for he and his wife to do.
Thank you to GalleyCat for this article:
Novelist Stephen King hopes to raise up to $140,000 to help low income residents heat their homes this year. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has reduced Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funds in Maine from $55.6 million last year to $23 million this year, a dramatic decrease for families struggling to heat their homes.
Here’s more from the novelist: ““We’ll match up to $70,000 of the amount raised … This economy is terrible and Tabitha and I both worry so much about Bangor because it truly is a working-class town and we are always looking for ways to help, and right now this is a great need.â€
If you want to donate to the campaign, you can call (207) 990-2800 to donate by credit card through King’s radio stations. Or you can mail (or deliver) checks to Help Keep ME Warm ZONE Radio, 861 Broadway, Bangor 04401.

WTG Mr. Stephen KING, thankfully there are people like him.
"Citizens Energy (since 1979)
After leaving the U.S. House, Kennedy returned to Citizens Energy. (During Kennedy's terms in the U.S. House, it had been run by his brother Michael.) Citizens Energy pursues commercial ventures aimed at generating revenues that, in turn, are used to generate funds that could assist those in need in the U.S. and abroad. It grew to encompass seven separate companies, including one of the largest energy-conservation firms in the U.S. Citizens Energy became one of the U.S.'s first energy firms to move large volumes of natural gas to more than thirty states.[verification needed] As a precursor to market changes under electricity deregulation in the late 1990s, Citizens Energy was a pioneer in moving and marketing electrical power over the power grid.
Citizens Energy has provided affordable heating oil to low-income families in the Northeastern U.S. since 1979. These charitable efforts were funded largely from profitable commercial ventures and donations.
Since returning to Citizens Energy, Kennedy also has sought to influence energy-related public policy, challenging the Bush Administration to invest in energy conservation and efficiency and renewable energy, encouraging Congress to fully fund federal heating assistance programs, proposing that oil-consuming countries work together to balance oil prices against Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) manipulation, and calling for the federal government and major oil companies to use portions of royalties from oil and gas extracted from federal lands and waters to help low-income families with the high price of energy."
Some people with six + figure incomes are human, and caring of those who are not!
