Hi. I am from North Augusta, South Carolina. My mom was diagnosed with cervical cancer the week before. She's a single mom & she's been working for all of my life trying to support my little sister & me. She hasn't been able to work since she was diagnosed. She ended up also having to have surgery because they found a tumor when they did an MRI on her right before she started chemo & radiation for her cervical cancer. We haven't always been able to have a lot of money paying bills & such, but since she's been out of work, it's gotten a lot worse.
We are starting not to be able to pay our bills. Her unemployment checks stopped coming. I'm only 15 years old so I can only do so much. I had to drop out of high school to take care of my mom. We don't have any family that helps us with anything so it's really just me and my brother doing everything we can. This is a very stressful time & I'm starting to lose all hope.
My mom is basically on bed rest because she's still so weak & tired from all the chemo & radiation. She can't even get up & go use the bathroom without crying & almost falling. Whatever help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. You can reach me by this email. Our cell phones got cut off because we weren't able to pay the bill. We just have no money & I'm scared we are going to lose everything... Again any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!

If that is the case, it is Aiken County. While you may need to go to different organizations, both rent and energy bill help may be available. Find a list of Aiken County programs for your mom. You can apply online.
