Need serious help with power bill!!!

I'm a nurse by trade. At 44, I had to have open heart surgery last year. My job politely terminated me when it was time for me to return to work. The job market here in Alabama is very slim for someone that's had heart surgery and suffers from fibromyalgia. My husband just got out of the hospital, to find out that he has mitral valve regurgitation. He is also unable to hold down a regular job. We are raising 3 grandchildren, with the oldest one being six. The only income that I have coming in is from my unemployment. My power bill is now $900.00 and due to be cut off any day now. The united way person here in our small town and one church helped some by giving me a small amount last month to help with my power bill. They tell me that it will be month's before they can help me again. The project share here tells me that it will be January or February before they will have any funding to help. It is hard enough to have to ask anyone for help, now to be told there isn't any. What is anyone to do. We have never been in this type of financial strain before in our lives. I don't know where to turn next. All the other churches that I've called refers me to someone else.

If anyone out there knows of something that I have not tried, please respond back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for listening, even if your unable to help!!

Good afternoon, my name is Casey. My son and I live in Spartanburg SC and have Duke Energy for our power at our home and we need help with the Power bills. I have been really seriously struggling the last several months to try to make ends meet.
My son is type one diabetic and I really cannot have our power disconnected. I have to come up with at least $1554.30 by February 4th or we will have no power. I have been trying this afternoon to find places that may can help me.
Some places in Spartanburg do not help with power bill or will not help if it’s over a certain amount. Can you please seriously try and help me and lead me in the right direction to find help fast? I took tomorrow off of work to try and get this resolved so we will not loose power. He has several devices that he has to wear and we really have to have power. My income is our only way of living right now and I am found all I can. Can you please help us?
