In the middle of the hottest summer in at least five years, 75-year-old Marie Norris is taking her medication and sweltering inside her small Missouri City home.
My mom let us go without other things before going without air conditioning. She grew up in Arizona so it was never gonna happen! Also, maybe don’t wear a blanket and light candles when it’s hot out…
I'm in Tucson too and my swamp cooler stopped working when they changed the pads. It gets to 95 degrees in here every day. They insist it's working fine. I haven't slept in three days. Don't know what to do.
new system, but can they afford the cost of running and AC unit for 4 months out of the year? I live in Los Angeles and my bills are well over 1k every other month and the summers aren't harsh.
Join the club my grandmother worked as a nurse for 20 years yet we have no central air conditioner or heat plus we have hard wood floors so it's miserable. We've been living like this for years
i can relate some to this im 19 years old and ilive in texas. last year my life took a 360 degree turn my family and i live in a mobile home with not electricirty, no water and no gas. last years winter i felt i was going to die because our mobile home is in really poor conditions and i dont know what to do this year is almost winter again and im kinda scared im not braging but whats in this video is not alot to deal with theres alot of other people in more poor conditions
@Brian Howard so true that hardwood floor is cooler than carpeted one, yet temperature doesn't care and today for example it's 88 F despite having cool shades and a fan turned on 12 or maximum speed .
I live in New Orleans, the most humid city in America. YOU CANT LVE HERE WITHOUT AC. YOU WOULD DIE FROM DEHYDRATION AND SWEATING YOUR ELECTROLYTES OUT.
Cooling technology has come a long way in the last 20 years where u can survive with little to NO Air conditioning. High velocity fans such as Vornado and Rowenta create nice wind breezes inside your home that can really make a difference. Cooling blankets, pillows and sheets have become much more common to further help people sleep during hot summer nights. Remember those old box fans we used back in the day. Saw they had one. Get another one and position them on opposite sides of the home windows. One facing in, the other facing out. To supplement those box fans, especially at night, freeze up 4 or 5 ice packs to use whenever the heat is too much. Lastly, in those extremely hot days, head to the mall, library or catch a nice movie.
I'm a widdow and haven't had air-conditioning for 3 years now, have a lot of headacks from it. I'm 73 years old . I'm in Riverside California and it gets very hot here, and with walls surrounding our house doesn't help either.
My fiancé’s parents had no air conditioner until last summer when we had to stay with them for 2 weeks. They finally got one because I couldn’t stand it, and now I think how all thanks to me being “particular” now nobody has to suffer over at the grandparents house anymore ☺️
Having Air conditioning is VERY Important. The Body is not supposed to be that Hot & agitated all day long. Also, apparently people who live where it’s super cold have longer life expectancy!
My grand mother lived over 100yrs without air-conditioning in hot northern Ghana. Simple natural ventilation is good enough for most places except a few. Most people in the world have no air-conditioning. I personally don't like it.
I’m 65 and don’t have a/c, can’t afford the electric bill even if someone gave me a wall unit. It is usually over 100 everyday in the Summer months. Heat rises so being 2nd floor makes it worse. 😢
I know all about nit having ac am Cuban thankfully came to this country when I was 12 I am 32 now and let me tell you every night u would pray and hope that u had any type of wind coming from ur valcony
Most houses these days tonrent only have swamp coolers because they are cheaper to install without having the knowledge that they are worthless where you live when it is not dry climate and only air conditions is ideal bit expensive.
Hope they also help paying their electric bill. I don't use my account much here much, even with energy assistance. If we were war toys, we would get all kinds of funding.
What does COPD have to do with AC? On the contrary, AC should help relieve some of the strain the lack of oxygen has on the body. My grandpa passed in March this year due to COPD - my heart goes out to you, it’s a hard struggle. Just keep him as comfortable as possible.
That was beautiful. Thank you for helping them.
I'm in Tucson and have no a/c. Every afternoon it gets up to 94 degrees. I'm miserable.
My mom let us go without other things before going without air conditioning. She grew up in Arizona so it was never gonna happen!
Also, maybe don’t wear a blanket and light candles when it’s hot out…
I can relate living with no air conditioner aint no joker boi.
Thank you for helping the family bless you all
They seem like a sweet family. Thank You for helping them.
Blessings to those who helped this family. I WISH all could be so blessed.
Good work Village Plumbing and Air and Bill Spencer.
A life of hard work, does not pay off in this world.
That’s capitalism
1:13 The first thing I do when it's blistering grab a nice thick blanket.
YES! Tucson AZ! My AC goes off and on! They say $20,000! Crazy! It is a $2000 unit!

Texas power can be cheap AF. My plan is 5 cents per kWh
Whoa!

My grandma and mom and aunt never had air most old people don’t have air this is no surprise

God bless everyone 🙂
When I lived in Seattle I didn't need air conditioning. It was always in the mid seventies in the summer. Now I live in NC so I need air conditioning.
People have it here now, its common. I just got one. Its hot here now.
Lord, have mercy.
Poor things, That's not good. Praying

Very nice! Thanks! 🙂❤️👍
High humidity in a home can cause mold to grow. This is very dangerous for a family.

I see a window air conditioner at 0:57.
Same here with me
Even having those they still don't do much sometimes, I have one in my living room and my house has still been getting up too 90
They said it was shot.
I see one too

Humanity lived without air conditioning for all of time until they became common place 40 years ago. Don't be so dramatic and such an alarmist.
Beautiful!!!🤗❤🤗

Ive been without heat and air for 15yrs
Joe Walters Where though..? Many states, that’s no big deal. Some, it’s damn near impossible.
Same we will in Texas
Where do you live?
Most people in India don't have AC.
I know all about nit having ac am Cuban thankfully came to this country when I was 12 I am 32 now and let me tell you every night u would pray and hope that u had any type of wind coming from ur valcony
My whole family live with no AC
That is awesome.
I want one of those portable AC units they have in costumed mascot suits installed directly into my body.
Where is the father ?
I’d complain after 1 hour
It says 75 degrees....and they are not sweating...they don't look hot
Thank God! I wonder if opening the windows helped at all?
it doesn't
Awwww please all u had to do is go to the pawn shop a d buy some dam window units ....i dont mind helping people but people be wanting hand outs !
👍🏽💯🤣
Why not buy a window ac unit? They are only 150 bucks.
Most houses these days tonrent only have swamp coolers because they are cheaper to install without having the knowledge that they are worthless where you live when it is not dry climate and only air conditions is ideal bit expensive.
This is normal in my country to not have ac
I bet it was probably a bad capacitor the whole time!!! I would of fixed that for free lol
I live in The UK and my bedroom has no air-conditioning!
I don't understand why it's such a big deal. Billions of people lived without AC before they were invented. This family can, too.
😊😊💖💖💖💖
Ummmmtheres an ac next to the TV
poor family i grew up without any AC in our home .
Hope they also help paying their electric bill. I don't use my account much here much, even with energy assistance. If we were war toys, we would get all kinds of funding.
I’m confused as to who is paying for the house? They live in a nice neighborhood.
damm poor people in america live in mansions lmao. lucky americans
Did anyone notice they have a Air conditioner
Trump got the problem solve..
I alone can fix it.
Why do they need a heater?
Why kiss the old lady on the head lmao that was weird
Ive never Owend a house or car with ac its grear
Where do you live?
Canada ontario
All these people and they can’t put together $150 for a ac?! I’m confused. It’s too many sick people in this household for no ac. I could never
Yeah, our central air broke. It was in the heat of Summer. I had to go buy a wall unit from Walmart.
What I’m looking at is their neighborhood looks pretty nice for only one person to be the breadwinner who no longer works.
Why is this man yelling?!
my grandpa has bad copd so we cant have ac.
