You are posting this in April for cold weather? I would think you have at least 5 months before it gets cold (maybe longer) to get this paid up and straightened out. If you broke EPP they will want all of their money and probably a large deposit. You need to borrow from family or see if they can help out. Funds are so limited you need to do what you have to in order to pay your bill.

Maybe the most immediate program in Kansas is LIHEAP. It is a federal grant service in which money is allocated for heating bills and gas costs. Most of the LIHEAP funding is paid out for the winter, so that sounds like it fits for what you needs are. Locate the ways to apply here. http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... izati.html

I live in Ottawa, Kansas and am in dire need of some help with my rent and utilities. I am a single mom of 4 kids and have a full time job. Two of my kids live on their own. I only make a maximum of 1,000 a month. My rent is $500 a month and my utilities are high. My electric and water is through the city of Ottawa and my bill is over $300.00 and my gas bill is around $136.00 through Kansas Gas Service.
Any help or information you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I have only asked for help 3 times in the past 20 years. I only ask for help if I'm completely desperate and out of ideas. Thanks so much.

Hello, I am trying to find help with a utility bill that is in danger of being shut off. I have never been in this situation before and not sure what to do. I know the center of how is available but I have been unable to reach them through phone and I was unable to make the walk in due to reemployment testing I was completing on that day that was scheduled for 3 hours but took all day. If you have any suggestions please let me know. I am in Haysville KS Sedgwick County. Thanks for your time.

I'm a divorced, disable women. My total monthly income is $630.87, I have an outstanding electric bill of $1030.90 owned to KU. This is from the winter bills, it also includes the bill owed this month.
I have no way of ever being able to get this caught up. My doctor has been sending KU a letter to keep them from disconnecting my service. My health is not good and my insurance hasn't paid for some of my prescriptions. I'm truly at a loss for how I will be able to pay this bill. I sincerely need help, would appreciate anything you can do for Me.

Almost every utility company in Kansas offers energy bill help. Call customer service (along with your doctor) and go over the situation. But you need to be involved in the process too.

My son lives in Topeka Kansas. He lives in an apartment with his girlfriend. They both have lost their jobs and trying to make ends meet. He told me last night he has no electricity and their apartment is all electronic. Can you help get his electric and utilities turned back on? He told me that they owe quite a bit.
Please help!

Another option for the state of Kansas is the HeatShare program.
But if you both lost your jobs, you will need to address that too. Heatshare may be able to help you get your utilities back on. But if you have all those electronics in your apartment, you need to conserve. Learn more on the Kansas Heatshare program.
