When you bring a newborn home for the first time, your surroundings are placed under serious scrutiny; is your home safe enough, warm enough and childproof?
The basic necessities such as being warm and dry suddenly become crucial when there’s a baby in the house.
So, when Jesse and Maria Hulscher’s furnace broke down just days before their newborn baby was due to come home and a snowstorm was forecast, panic overwhelmed them.
Not only did they have the stress of trying to find someone to fix it but also the cost at such a crucial time.
The happy parents were about to welcome their second child and they couldn’t wait to meet their new bundle of joy.
But as dad Jesse waited patiently at home with their two-year-old son he realized his furnace had stopped working.
As cold air enveloped their home Jesse was left to come up with a quick solution.
“Instantly I panicked,” Jesse said. “I have a two-year-old here, a newborn coming home in a couple days and this was before the big potential snowstorm.”
