At wits end

[Lucy]

No help in emergency situations? At my wits end. I live at Tremont street in Salem MA.  I am disabled and low income less than 800 per month on disability, over the past 10 years had 10 back surgeries and a recent knee replacement followed by the other knee as soon as I heal.  Over 10 years ago NASCAP Peabody, MA helped me insulating my home through National Grid. My roof was very bad back then but not leaky so nothing could be done. The past 3 years my roof has been leaking and when the wind blows 30 more tiles blow off my house.  I been asking for help but everywhere I turn, I am refused or sent back to NASCAP in Peabody MA. Who tells me flat out they cannot help me because I had help over 10 years ago and now I am at wits end.
I am very low income and have only with one choice left as I am at the end of the road. It if as my friends tell me and that is to bail out, sell my home, pay back every person that has helped me and go in to housing and have section 8 pay my rent. That is not a choice I want to make. But not being able to get help to stay in my own home has me considering it. If there are any other programs that can help someone like me at the poverty level, I will be happy to receive any information I can get. I have talked to every agency in MA. And no one can help and keep sending me back to NASCAP that says they cannot help because they helped me 10 years ago?? I am at my witts end and cry at just the mention of my roof. If there is another direction to turn to, I would be grateful for any direction to turn at this point. I been sending out letters to every agency in hopes of getting to the help I need but It’s been ongoing for 3 years now without some direction to find the help I need.. Thank you,

We do not call people though, so you will need to call the agencies on our website. As there are several you can try.
