Senior citizens are struggling with the heat due to financial constraints. An eighty-year-old man, Arturo Gómez, has to turn off his air conditioning at night to cut costs. He and his wife sleep with only a fan, even during the hottest days. Their pets also suffer from the heat.

Gómez's financial struggles with his electric bill began two years ago when he received a $600 bill. Since then, he and his wife have had to make adjustments to their daily routine to reduce their expenses.

Further details about Gómez's situation and the struggles of other senior citizens are available from the source.
