Millie Packech is still waiting.
No heat. No refrigeration. No hot water. It?s been more than 48 hours for the Severna Park woman who uses an oxygen tank to breathe, and all she has been told by Baltimore Gas and Electric is “soon.”
But she has found plenty of warmth from neighbors and friends.
“Thank goodness for angels,” said Packech, 81.
“Cindy [Fetty] and my next door neighbor have come over and put another blanket on my bed,” Packech said. “… Times like these are when you find out who your real friends are.”
Packech, who is nearly blind, spent most of the cold days huddled under blankets, with her boxer, Amy, at her bedside.
“We want to get her warm,” said Fetty, who brought over a blanket and a cheeseburger. Another friend stopped by with coffee and soup, Packech said.
Neighbor Mike Marino hooked up his generator to power an electric heater in her home. Packech said she is grateful that her liquid oxygen machine does not depend on electrical power.
