Hi all,
Since so many needs are in this thread, from different people, use the general search bar. Search for medications or free food in your area, and of course the other help - rent, medical, etc. Find all the programs to search for locally.

I need help with my rent payments and bills. My wife recently gave birth to our identical twin boys and we have 2 other kids as well and since the birth of the twins. I have been missing a lot of work and my paychecks have been really low and haven't been able to pay the full rent when it comes time to pay the rent due to formula, baby clothes, food, gas, bills, and car payments. I need some assistance in helping pay by rent and medical bill until things get better with the twins then I will be able to go back to get paid full time with 80 hours.

We have tons of resources for the Denver area on the website. Maybe try this for free community clinics in Denver. They can help with the medical issues and medications. Then maybe give you referrals to the other resources you need.

I'm 29 year old. I really need help with rent assistance, health insurance and food assistance. I have No children. But I have one small cat. I'M about to be homeless soon as of December 30, 2018. Really I will have No place to go But the streets. I took care of my grandmother who is bedridden and handicapped.
She let me live with her unless I had a job which I did till I got injured. I helped with getting groceries and found chores around the house. This was my home. And all I knew. For the past couple of months I have been trying to look onto transitional housing. But it requires you have children which I don't. I'm trying to get into armor apartment here in Denver Colorado. Rent will be only $25.00.00 a month is something I don't have at the moment. I really need your help with rent and food assistance. You can contact me. Please and Thank you.

Try some time of charity program. There are several national organizations and dozens of local charities too that are Christian based. Each offers their own services, but they should be able to offer something for your disabled daughter. So there are many places to try. Locate all of these charity programs.

I am writing to see if you could please help with paying our bills. I have a daughter with a disability and a granddaughter who is lactose intolerant and wheat intolerant. We are now fighting a child custody case and this took what money we had. The child’s mother and her family have neglected the court order several times. They are very wealthy and know that we do not have the funding/money to keep going to court.
I have an outstanding bill that I can not pay and would greatly appreciate any help you could give. I keep telling my family God will prevail and I know he will, we expect things to happen right away and God has a plan and my granddaughter will stay strong knowing God is always with her. We are Christian based and love this child more than anything. She needs a stable family that will take her to church and love her. Please help us.

I have a 13 year old daughter and am in desperate need of help for my utility bill, medications and rent for this month only. I do work full time but due to my car breaking down I missed 1 week of work and suspended another. I live pay check to paycheck and missing that time has me getting ready to be evicted and electric, and water shut off.

We need help to pay rent on June 1, 2015. I am presently unemployed. My husband is disabled and on social security disability trying to take care of both of us. His medical bills are extremely expensive; as well as the cost of medications. I am apparently ineligible for food stamps or unemployment. Could you please advise. Where can we get some help temporarily in order to get back on our feet. Sincerely,

[Terese]

Hello I am a single part time worker. Am I am wanting to know are there any places in Kosciusko county that help with any kind of food and rent help. I’m renting to own. My rent and trailer payment together is about 500 a month. That does not include my electric. I only gross 700 a month. Are there any programs that I can turn to for help? And help on food? I live in Syracuse Indiana. The county is Kosciusko County Indiana. I hope you can help me. Thanks.

For these types of services we would normally recommend a community action agency, and there are locations in Eugene Oregon. They can generally help people with a number of needs, including assisting with employment opportunities, jobs, and even money for paying bills and other expenses. This centers also operate in all towns and counties so there should be one nearby. Here is more info. http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... gency.html

Please call us. Thank you please call me.

The best way to be active is to research your options, and start calling and applying for rent help. You want to do this before you receive an eviction notice, as then it is often too late. For food, look into pantries. Medications use generics and places like Wal MArt. For rent assistance, try this for Memphis emergency rent help programs.

I am a self-employed contractor. I am 45 years old. I have hit a very slow time as far as work right now. I am behind in my rent and I am having trouble paying for gas, my medications and food and utilities. I have thought about getting another job, however my needs are immediate. My rent is $600.00 per month - not too bad- and the rest of my bills total out to about $500.00 per month (auto insurance /utilities/phone). I do not use credit cards and I have no monthly payments on any purchases including my truck. I have no loans to repay. I looked on your site this morning and am not sure what the options are for me. Is there a way I can be more substantially active in taking care of myself at this critical point in time? Thanks for any advice you may be able to offer me. I am in Shelby Co , Memphis Tn.

Well the first thing you need to address is the food issue. Nothing else matters if you or family goes hungry. Try a local food pantry for groceries, free food, meals, and other aid too, like clothing or Christmas meals. Read more and get information on pantries here.
http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/food_banks.html All states and counties have local food banks for the needy.

Take a look at our main Maryland page. From this page you will find information on clinics (for free medications), food pantries, and much more. In addition, if you scroll midway down the page you will find information on assistance programs specific to Essex County Maryland. And of course links to utility programs, from BGE and others, are on the page/site as well. Find details on the Maryland assistance here.

Pain was getting worse, severe pain was going across lower back down my legs and feet, Having hard time walking, sitting, bending, etc. I am disable to do for myself.

I am writing because we have no heat in our home and no food. I am disabled and was getting food stamps but I was in a car accident to which totaled my car so therefore I can not get into Social Services in order to re-apply and they will not budge in having someone come
out to my place. I'm not healthy. Anyway we have oil heat and when we moved in to this place this past April we were told that the furnace was in working order. We found out that it was not and the last bit of cash we had went to repairing the furnace to which our landlord insists is our responsibility even though we just moved in about 5 months ago and never used the furnace before. We've been lucky this past week or so because the weather has not been so bad however when it was in the 20-30's a couple of weeks ago it was so cold in that house you could see your breath each time we breathed. Now as I said I am not healthy and if I get sick again and end up in yet another coma the doctors have all told me and my brother that I will not be walking out of the hospital on my own. I am not allowed to live on my own or be left alone so therefore my sister Mary and I live together. He was working but was laid off and has yet to receive his first unemployment check. When he does get that check it has to go
right to both the rent and his car insurance so there will be no money left. We've been basically using what little bit of my SSDI and SSI checks that are left after my portion of rent to feed ourselves however I only get $619.00 SSDI and $79.53 for SSI and my portion of our rent is $900 unless Mary puts more of what he was making when he was working towards my share of the rent. Since May when I lost my food stamps I've lost a total of 10 pounds because i've had to go anywhere from 1-3 days a week without eating just to make what we do have stretch. I would love to go to food pantries however a lot of what is given out I am not allowed to eat. I have to eat carefully and not salt
at all. We need help so bad it is not funny and I am begging for help to get emergency oil for the furnace so we can have heat and get some food. We owe money for the rent but not sure how much because Mary tries hard to not let me know because he is scared to get me upset because he thinks I will get sick again. . Thank you for listening and for any/all the help you may be able to give me.

Food and rent? What state do you live in. Here is info on low income assistance programs. These options may be something that can provide you some short term relief with food, rent, etc.
