Here is a listing of programs in Kern County CA. Usually they do have emergency aid if someone has a shut off notice. Also, did you try LLIHEAP, the federal government funded program? Use the link for agencies.

However, some of the places to call may include Community Action Partnership of Kern, phone number 336 5203
The Bakersfield California Salvation Army ((661) 587-1660) may have some emergency financial aid to prevent disconnections of utilities and heating bills.
An organization of churches in the area would be Flood Bakersfield Ministries, which is a partnership of churches and charities. Call (661) 32-Flood

Ocala City Electric gave a cut off notice for the 30th of this month, December. At first, they said they would work with us. My son and I moved into this apt. Last month. My husband passed in 2009, and we owed an old bill they said from 4 years ago. We had to pay $300. To have the electric turned on, even though my son had Ocala Electric before and always paid on time. It was my old bill that we put $300 on they said. Now they are saying instead of $79 extra a month towards my old bill..they want the full amount of $700. We live in an apartment. I am going to be 64 in March and on Social Security and have a VA pension from my husband. We can pay $300-400, but not $700. Please help.

when you paid the $300 did you get it in writing who you spoke to and the terms of the deal? If not, then read more on other electric bill Florida programs and more services that may be available. There are some grant programs, weatherization, and other resources for the low income. I am not sure how Ocala City Electric could change the terms of the deal on you.

I am a single parent with two boys that are ten and four years old, and we may lose power in 48 hours. I have always had a job to take care of my family, but now I got have gotten sick, I got bit by a mosquito and had an allergic reaction to the bite. After that is when all of my problems started.
I was broke out over my whole body with itchy blisters that later became black spots all over my body, have been hospitalized for a month an while their I had a bad case of cellulitis and I had surgery on my right foot on the top and bottom to remove some infection and pressure. I developed pneumonia, heart failure, blood clot in right leg, COPD, bad diabetes, high blood pressure, and I am clinically depressed.
I need help really bad with this 48 hour shut off notice, the only income I have is my son SSI check which is 588 dollars and my rent is 575 dollars a month and I don't have money to pay my utilities and I often get my lights, gas and water off for weeks at a time because I don't have a lot of help from friends or family because they don't have extra money either. I am begging for help please! If I didn't need help I wouldn't ask for it. I can’t but my children the basic needs. I don’t have anything, please, help me.
