Desperately need help w rent/d/c notices & food in GA

[nibseysgirl]

Hello, My name is Lisa. I am a married mom of a 13 yr old type 1 diabetic. My husband and I both work (he full time over the road truck driver and me a part time server at a local Waffle House) and I am also disabled and looking to have yet another back surgery... We have been paying our rent weekly as best we can to keep up but for the last two months we have not been able to do so with all the shut off notices for our gas and electric(Needed for insulin and medication requiring refrideration and a/c) and trying to keep up with our car loan as we need to have a car as we live in a remote area of Gwinnett County and need access to hospitals for low blood sugars and emergencies with our daughter which have happend many times...We just dont have enough to go around at this time. My husband has gone from making .035 mile to .30 mile and lost of all benefits(luckily our daughter(my natural daughter from a previous marriage)is not his biological daughter so she can keep her medicaid..I lost my medicaid and now have to pay for my premiums for my medicare a and b as well as d now that I lost my medicaid ..and we lost our food stamps as well. Our income is to high for a family of three but its not enough for us to pay our minimum bills including rent(our rent is very reasonable for our area and we have compared and cant find anythign close to what we need at what our landlord allows us to pay, he really could get at least 300.00 more a month..
We have applied for many programs and you are only allowed the program one time a yr and our yr is not up(from last yr) for another 3 months...We are in dire need of some help. School is here and we have no funds to even buy our daughter the required items for school let alone a haircut and a first day outfit. We are so stressed we just need some help with getting our rent caught up...our landlord has been so kind and patient but he is starting to put pressure on us and we are fearful that we are going have to leave. We have no where to go and we are scared to death...Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated..God Bless and Thank you
