Good afternoon,
I am trying to see if there is any financial assistance funding available for my family with electric and water bills. I am going through a divorce and have lost that income now rely on my disability money and child support to try to make ends meet. I have been able to keep rent current and gas bill current and groceries.
I was hospitalized in June for 2 weeks and was already behind on electric bill when I got home the past due and current amount due was over $1,700. I called to see if they could work with me and they said that I had to pay $500 first and then set up payment arrangement. So I paid $500. In December and next payment was due on December 3rd $500. Which I also made and this week paid $200.00 next payment is due the 25th and another one December 3rd. Now another current bill is due for $400 and because I already have a payment arrangement they said that is due now too.
I have enough income to make a payment each month but because I couldn't make ends meet those few months I can't see how to keep them from shutting off and I have 3 children to worry about. Water bill is same situation past due $350.00 and want to turn off.
Please any information that could help my situation is greatly appreciated.
