Hi kind sirs, Any programs to assist and help me with bills and debt in the Cleveland area?

I was laid off in November and my family and I struggled immensely to keep from losing the roof over our heads, the water and electricity. My son is in H.S. and her mother is sick, we were forced to give her SSI check to pay our rent leaving enough money to pay for 1 cellphone and a medical insurance copay our son has. I pawned everything we had, and borrowed on my car title just to try and keep up. Now my electric bill is due, which we have on a fixed plan for years now and I don't know what to do anymore. Tomorrow our internet will be disconnected and our son is going to lose her bed which we were paying in weekly installments. Its falling all apart and its even been hard to buy or obtain food. We applied in December for help from Cleveland social services but we will not see any assistance until after the first week of March, I just found employment that will not be able to pay me what I earned before even though we lived check to check. And I won't b seeing a paycheck until February 7th. By then my electric will be shut off. I really need some help until this job , which i am glad I found, pays me, it will only pay me bi-monthly but its a job. But I do need help to pay my bills. Please!

So if you have applied from the Cleveland social services there is nothing we can do. Sounds like you just need to wait. Or of course look into other government and public aid, such as LIHEAP. There are a number of these government programs in Ohio. Get more details on free food, unemployment compensation and more in Cuyahoga County and surrounding towns. Click here.

With that long list of issues, ranging from rent to what you need is credit counseling, you may want to try a community action agency. These Ohio based non-profits provide residents with a number of services, both financial aid for paying bills and more long term self-sufficiency. So there are many locations across the state, and get details on the programs from Ohio community action centers.
