Hello,
I have been having great difficulty, I receive SSD and am not able to meet all my bills, I am on a limited income, and want to return to college as well
to finish my senior year. My problem is paying for my utilities and LIPA bill which are 57.00 and 87.00 dollars respectively. Outside of Heap are there alternatives I can access in Suffolk County New York. To have help with these two bills would be of great importance to me. I am an Artist I paint and I have no money for art supplies and I can barley afford food even though I have food stamps. Please direct me to a local organizations that can help without all the bureaucratic fuss they may want to put me through.

Here are programs for Suffolk County that can help people on a limited income or SSD. Usually utilities people can get help and emergency aid for. Local organizations are all over the county. Try places like the Long Island Housing Services Inc., and their phone number is (631)467-5111. Another non-profit/charity type organization is West Islip Church of Christ, and the phone number for that charity organization is (631)587-1156. More places are also listed on this link as well, so call them, and good luck.

Please help me. I don't like asking, but I'm waiting to see if I'm approved for SSD and haven't worked since June. Need surgery on my neck. Have GOOD, metal plate and 10 screws in my ankle which you can see and feel poking my skin. Arthritis in neck and possibly fingers. Unless I'm losing mobility cause of neck. Water is off behind on lot rent. Electric will be cut off soon too. I live in JEFFERSON CITT MISSOURI. JUST GOT OUT OF HOSPITAL WITH DEPRESSION. It's getting worse with no money as wait on SSD. I'm locked in my room. God Bless us all.
