The Hiland Park man who chained himself to his power meter on Thursday to save his 5-year-old's life is breathing a sigh of relief.

The power bill has been paid by two people and you may remember one of the donors.

Dawn Amora is the adoptive mother of handicapped Marrisa Amora. In May Gov. Charlie Crist signed a compensation bill for $3 million for the abuse she suffered while under DCF's care.

Marissa was badly beaten by her birth mother's boyfriend--and now has permanent brain damage.

Like Marissa, Makayla's birth mother's choices permanently harmed her too. The 5-year-old suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome and cerebral palsy.

Kathy Duncan says more than the Amora's financial support it's just nice to know they're not alone.

"No one understands until you've been there and I've been there."

Dawn Amora, the woman who paid the Duncan's electric bill says the money did not come from her daughter's settlement money.

Amora, who operates a Jackson County Restaurant says it came from her own personal savings account.

Amora paid the bill up through January, an anonymous donar paid an undisclosed amount of money and local realtor Don Nations paid $2,000.
