Eyewitness News first brought you this story on Tuesday when we met Leslie Deleon at a southwest Houston warming center.
Deleon and her children, ages 7 to 15, said they had been living without power for the last month and a half and owed over $2,000 to her electricity provider.
She told us she had to choose between feeding her kids and keeping the lights on.

The single mother said she had been trying to figure it out on her own, but when the temperatures dropped to below freezing, she reached out to a church for a warm place to stay. She was directed to the Bayland Community Center, a warming station opened by Precinct 4 Commissioner Lesley Briones.
After seeing Deleon's story, an ABC13 viewer offered to front her bill.
Briones posted a picture on X, formerly Twitter, of the family and their two cats, saying they would finally get their electricity back thanks to the generous donor.
