Cash assistance

[Thedoctor]

I have a family of four including myself. I am a full time parent, I work a full time job as receptionist and a full time student at college America going for my associated in medical specialties. I barely make enough due to the lack of work, I work for a temp service and right now the position I'm in is only temporary.
When my assignment is up in September I'm not guaranteed I will have another job line up. It all depends on the temp services on what they get in. I have son who has a disability, he has ADD, ADHD, DD Development disabilities, and has to take medication to calm his short temper so his mind can focus. Thank you for your help.

I am a pregnant mother of 4 soon to be 5, I am currently unemployed and soon to be homeless. As of right now my utilities are already shut off. I am due for my 5th child in September and currently had to stop working at my 3+ year job due to pregnancy complications.
Please reply and let me know if there is anything or anyway someone out there can help. I currently don't receive no food or any kind of assistance as I didn't need them while I was working but since I lost my job I can not provide the funds or essentials for my children. Thank you for your time and I pray someone can help.

Marysville is located in Blount County Tennessee. So with all of those bills and needs you mentioned, try the local community action agency. They even have information on job training programs for your unemployed husband. However, you also need to budget, as you seem to still have cable for some reason even though you are behind on everything else. Cable is a want, and not a need. In other words, cable won't do you much good if you are evicted and homeless. Your cable should have been cancelled months ago. Regardless, find the Marysville and Blount programs here. http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... ction.html

I was married to an abusive man for 6 years. Just a few weeks ago I was able to get him away and out of the house. But I was a housewife, no children, and no income. I have fallen a month behind on rent, on water, and no gas for my car. I just got hired for a part time job yesterday. But I need help with rent to avoid eviction, and my water before its shut off, and gas for my car until I get my first paycheck in a couple weeks. I will be evicted in a week if rent is not caught up. I pay $525 per month here. And I owe $40 to the Elmore water company in Montana.

I'm also still looking for a job have applied everywhere, so please we just need a little bit of help. Thank you so much in advance if someone could help us.. God bless and have a good day.

My husband has Crohn's Disease and has missed eight days (a full paycheck) this month due to a flare up. He has been to the doctor multiple times and because we are on Medicaid, a referral to a GI has still not been made. I work full time as a Pre-K teacher, but injured my shoulder in September and have been out of works since. I had a shot and started PT in November and am expected to be released March 7 to return to work, however we don't have a dime. And with 3 children, if we get evicted, we will have nowhere to go. I've tried all the charities, no one had funding. We get food stamps and Medicaid, but don't qualify for cash aid because we both work. Please, if there is anything anyone can do, it would be greatly appreciated.

This past year has been a little hard on us. I'm not giving up on my family-- I will keep sending requests and wait, and wait-- I know everyone can't be HELPED I'm just hoping to be one of the lucky ones that does receive help.

I would really appreciate donations in money to help get me through I have been in school for over a year full time and receive food stamps and cash assistance but live month to month doing this and I just can't seem to catch up-- I go to school full time and internship so this takes a lot of my day. I have been fighting for SSI benefits for over a year and I struggle each and every day trying to stay in school-- I have so many appointments because I have a lot of health issues and trying to keep up with life itself is taking its toll, sometimes I feel like I just might NOT wake up the next day cause I run myself bare, hurting each and every night, but I FORCE myself to do it. I can't believe I'm waiting so long to ask for this help-- but I'm EMBARRASSED.. I'm first and foremost a mother and that does mean a lot to me-- these days it is just so HARD... Please- Please help me. I really need this help, I’m trying to get any kind of assistance to get a place to rent-- I don't have money like that to just give. I have cash assistance that I live off month to month, I would appreciate all and any help possible right now.

I live in Fort Worth Texas. I am currently a COMMON VARIABLE IMMUNO-DEFICIENCY patient with no immune system and I have all medical records of the local hospital. My doctor has also written my partially disability (Unknown and no time limit) on Texas Department of Human Services Form when I was applying for Food Stamps. I was hospitalized 4 times in less than a year with C-diff and Pneumonia and other symptoms. I have recently applied for disability though SSA and my attorney has told me that my case is very strong and I have hearing on October 25, 2012. I have taken 5 times Leave of Absence from my work because of pains and pass out on floors. Please help me for Rent or Utility bill. I am very much empty handed. I have completed my Associates degree from Tarrant County College with 4.00 GPA but no physical strength to work anywhere, I have all medical documents and unpaid medical bills and I would sign any document to request for medical evidence for verification purposes. Please help me for Rent or Utilities.

I recently had to quit my job as a passing medical tech because of my anxiety. I haven't been seen by a doctor yet. My husband is starting a job on the 29th through a temp service but we are struggling to pay out light bill and our rent and need some help. Our rent is $565 which is due Sept 1st and our light bill is $221 which is due August 23rd. We have two children, and no one to help us. So we wanted to know if there was any way for your services to provide us with some help. We live in Orlando Florida.

My family has come across some hardships. We have 4 small children. My husband does have a job and we were doing good financially up until last month and this month. We are slowly catching up everything, but still have a few bills that are past due. I had several hundred dollars we had to pay out for me to see doctor a couple times so that hurt us financially and then my husbands father passed away 2 months ago from cancer. We had to travel out of town several times for this. Well after we got trough moms death, we were starting to see more bills getting paid. Then last month his grandfather passed away. We also traveled out of town for that and she lived in Utah. we have just gotten back into our normal routine. My husband has been working as much as possible and we have been able to catch up on some bills. unfortunately our water bill is still not been able to be paid and is due for it to be shut off. Another thing is our water bill was extremely high but until we can afford for a plumber to come check everything out we still have to take care of the big bill. I am just trying to see if there is some assistance out there to help with our water bill. Thank you.

Well, we do have information on assistance for the Elmira NY area, including disability. Now always apply for SSI, and see your local Chemung County social service office. We always strongly recommend that for anyone who is disabled. As far as other options and financial resources for you, find out listing of Elmira NY agencies. Learn more on services and programs administered in the western part of the great New York State.

I live in the Elmira New York area. I am a disabled, but full time (for three years now) online student who is obtaining her Bachelor of Science in Business. I am having a very hard time paying my bills on a 688.00 a month income. My rent is 500, my utilities are getting further and further behind trying to keep up with the rent, phone/internet, utilities, garbage. Then coming home the other day, my old decapitated car blew the main seal. I am all alone, no children and desperately trying to keep my head above water until I graduate in January of 2014. I have no friends or family in this area and do not know where to turn. To top it all off, my furnace in my house went out and so did my clothes dryer. If it wasn’t for bad luck, then I do not think that I would have any luck at all. I would greatly appreciate any kind of information that I could obtain in order to maybe find some assistance. I suffer from PTSD and I am telling you that these reoccurring problems really have not been good on me at all. Thank you and God bless you.

Many states offer what is known as a refugee resettlement program, which can provide cash assistance for people new to the state or country. Now of course it only runs for a short period of time, and only certain expenses are paid for, but it may be a good starting point for you. We are not sure of the laws and if they can apply for heating assistance. Each and every state is different. However you can look into Massachusetts public assistance and find out what services are offered. Massachusetts is really a good state as far as number and depth of programs offered.

I am trying to assist a family that is new to the United States. This family has all their paper work that would be required. They are not in the United States long enough to receive food stamps or cash. Both parents work but are working poor. They have 3 children and are doing all they can to provide for their family. They did go to the welfare building but they were told they are not eligible for any kind of assistance. I do not believe this is true. Can you please confirm if it is true that they are not eligible for any heating or cash assistance? I am pretty sure they missed the date that they could apply for LHeap, can they still apply for crises. They do have shut off notices. Because of the language and cultural barrier the family is having a hard time navigating our system and frankly they have been brushed off by everyone they have spoken for and have asked for help. Can you please give me some direction and suggestions so that I can help this family? I thank you in advance for any help you may offer me.

Sorry to say, but there are not any assistance programs for paying insurance or providing tags for cars. Just doesn't exist. That being said, maybe you will qualify for other aid, which will free up money for those expenses. Maybe even some ways to pay for those medical bills for your fathers heart attack. Find the Florida programs here. http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/flo ... grams.html

are you serious? "Only" getting like $50 in $100 in cash. That sounds pretty good to me. What do you expect, them to take care of every bill and expense you have for free? Are you collecting unemployment? Anyway not sure what more we can do, or anyone for that matter if you are getting that type of help already. But free to explore the main site of need help paying bills for more information if you want.
