My husband is 51 years old, lost his job 2 years ago and is working temporary jobs. Due to the recent bad weathers, he only got paid 2 days last week and we need help with the power bills. I am working full-time, but we are in bankruptcy and are struggling to keep those payments up plus the house payment. All we really need right now is $540 to keep our power on. We are at a disconnect status and have until February 11th. I can make some payments toward that balance, but have food and other bills to pay as well.

Information on where and how to apply for some help with Power Bill. I just moved here at my Godmothers with my 2 children ages 10-12 and she is almost 70 raising a 5 year and 2 year old whom the 5 year old she has custody and 2 year old is Her son's child that she watches for him. She is on a fixed income and our power bill was high she said.
She asked for a 10 day extension and with Me Homeschooling  my 12 year old son, she has helped me more than I know she could. I have applied and was approved for my EBT benefits and that is how I feed me and my 2 babies. I am out of money and need help and the bills continue in like power. I just moved to Florida less than 30 days ago and My Aunt Carol (godmother) is struggling but still helping me in time of need. Any and all help is needed and greatly appreciated. ADDRESS IS NEW PORT RICHEY

I am single father and in the last 6 months my world has been turned upside down. It seems that even though I am working everyday trying to keep things together for my kids and family I seem to be falling more and more behind. I am asking for assistance in helping with my power bill.
I’ve never asked or used assistance before now and am not sure how to go about it. All I do know is my kids called me while I was working to tell me our power has been turned off... if there is anyone out there that has info on where to receive help or what I can do please email or call me, thank you.

I have been trying to find some kind of emergency assistance with helping me pay my utility bill. I came across your website and saw the different programs for assistance. Unfortunately, when I called or even did applications with my local Neighborhood Service Center, I was told that my application would not be processed (after 7 days after I did the application), because there are no longer funds. The day I did the application, I told them that my disconnection day was coming up real close and I did not know about the assistance that they offered. I am not one that gets the assistance so regular that I know how the system works. Well my lights were scheduled to be disconnected on the 26th of May and I find out on the 28th that they could not help me....I filled out the application on the 22nd! I would have done more research if I wasn't assured that my bill, a majority of it, would be paid. Now I am a single mother of a 4 year old and a 2 year old, I work part time and school full time. I am in this bind because I had to move from our previous address because the mold and carpet was making 2 year old develop all kinds of respiratory problems and they were starting to get worse. Please tell me there is something that you all can do. I am so stressed, I cant sleep, eat, and losing focus on normal daily agenda. Please!!!!

Hello,

I have come across this site looking for help regarding utility bills and rent. I am living with my boyfriend and our two kids. We are getting behind on bills. I am a stay at home Mom and my boyfriend works however is being laid off. I was wondering how to get started or go about trying to get assistance. Like I said we are already in a home where we are paying the rent and all utilities. We are in Braidwood, IL. Anything would help. I was also looking on your site about a work from home job that I am interested in doing. I've tried 3 from online and all were scams. I need something to try and help pay bills and get food on the table. Thank you for your time and any information you can give me.

Use this for information on Bullhead City and Arizona utility assistance programs. Is your power company listed here? If so, then call and get information about how to get help, and aid is usually prioritized for people with children, which should help you out. Here is the link. http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/ari ... energ.html And yes, many people are having a hard time, but just fight through it and apply for help with power bills and debts for the next year or so until you get through it.

A $600+ power bills is expensive. Call your Virginia utility company and ask for payment planes, negotiations, and other support and services from them, as most do offer financial aid and support.

So we assume you live in Merced County California. If so here are some of the agencies to call for rent, utility, and general counseling in your region. Specialists can help people find stable housing, mostly low income. Especially if you have kids, and one who may be sick, you may have better luck at getting funding. Find Merced County emergency financial assistance and cash grants for bills and expenses.

Does Nassau Power offer any special programs or assistance for SSI recipients? Many utility companies do. Also find an extensive list of other Nassau County energy assistance programs and services for all of New York. At the end of the day there are many options for people, including Long Island Power Authority Residential Energy Affordability Partnership at 1-800-263-6786 which should cover Nassau County area too.

So if you can afford monthly rent, why cant just save a paycheck or two before moving in, and when you save that money use it to pay moving costs or first months rent. That would resolve your situation. Also, find other Arkansas assistance programs, as the state and agencies in the region realize many low income people in Arkansas just need options and services made available to them in order to get help.

Provo County Utah has numerous assistance programs to help pay energy bills, rent, and power expenses. They may have some gasoline aid, but I seriously doubt food for pets. I think the power bill is a reasonable request. Try the local community action agency, Community Action Services and Food Bank, for both rent and utility help. Phone 801-373-8200
Another option is Community Action Services - Provo 801-373-8200 has extensive information and possibly financial grants and programs for you.
