Hi,
If you are disabled, and have 2 kids 9are they very young?) you will often get priority. But since you have a portable one already your options may be limited. But whare? At least the state? Until then here is our main link for an AC program. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... oners.html
Also, since you are disabled, you will often get priority to LIHEAP (or state's version). But also try this for a list of LIHEAP programs by state.

I’m a single mother of two. I am disabled seeing a free air conditioner. I’m in appeal process waiting for a hearing (18-24 months) & I have only 785/month to support myself & two daughters. I live in a substandard rundown apartment and the windows leak, and I can’t install an air conditioner properly due to my disability. I have a portable AC unit.
The bill is very high in the summer. I’m always way past due and about to be shut off. If I could get help installing an air co sit in we properly, getting proper window coverings to co serve energy? These are my ideas but really any assistance is needed. I can’t pay my bills. I also have a refrigerator that runs constantly and gets warm and my food goes bad, then it freezes everything. It’s an energy waster but I don’t have any alternative right now. It’s been that way every summer. I really need help for an air conditioner, really a free one. It keeps wasting any groceries I buy. My daughters don’t understand why I am so troubled. I’ve had nine spinal surgeries and I’m totally overwhelmed with problems. I’m looking for help and I found your contact information online. Can you help me pay my electric bills, or help me get the air conditioner and/or refrigerator working efficiently? Please advise. Thanks for reading this.
Hi all
We have several government programs listed for AC units as well as details on charities that give them away. Note the units are always limited and, in general, a free air conditioner is for the elderly, disabled or people with young kids or an illness. Find all the details on government air conditioner programs. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... oners.html
There are of course charities as well as government offices to try for AC units. Of course government resources such as LIHEAP too. And of course charities in Massachusetts. We have a list-wide range of resources listed. Find them here, at utility bill assistance in Massachusetts

My name is Lindsay Park. I reside in Pembroke Massachusetts and I need an air conditioner unit.
My name is Lindsay Park. I reside in Pembroke Massachusetts and I need an air conditioner unit. I have a voucher through neighborhood housing solutions. I receive SNAP and I am disabled under the age of 60. I am looking for assistance With my electric bill for The summer months. I do not have an air conditioner and can’t afford one I didn’t know if there was any help with any charities. My car which I need to use to grocery shop go to doctors appointments as I have underlying health issues as well as mental and learning disabilities, errands, etc.. and my car Just started to not work correctly and shut off and stall. I already am negative with my allotted money as I had to purchase an alternator a belt and an air filter for 260$. And my father is my beneficiary and my father is my beneficiary and I am negative for the next two months financially.
I cannot afford to put any more work into this car as it is not going to be worth putting in the money I cannot afford to put any more work into this car as it is not going to be worth putting in the money as the worth of the vehicle. I definitely need a new vehicle as well as an air conditioner unit as I don’t have any other assistance.
So I was basically seeing if there was any nonprofit organizations or government agencies that would help somebody residing in Pembroke Massachusetts which is part of Plymouth County. I’m on disability for mental health and learning disabilities . So I was basically seeing if somebody could help me with getting an air conditioner and if they knew of any program that would help pay for my electric bill which was $300 the second month at my 1 bedroom cottage I moved into in February with my voucher and dog That I purchased to protect me from a seriously dangerous past relationship. And having difficulty trying to afford him. So if there’s any programs to help with cars or loans, air conditioners And help with just electric utilities. And can point me in the right direction I would be greatly appreciative. I do not like asking for help so this is very strange for me by any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi, Once again thanks. Unfortunately the info you sent me is online.I was asking for one thing info about if there is any place that can help with my Air Conditioner Heating unit.
Not paying bills. Not food. Not medical bills just one thing because I can’t find it on line. And I don’t want to file for food stamp and that kind of stuff.
The help you do for people is helpful.
Unfortunately you just sent me a bunch of info that’s online. Thanks.
I sorry for looking for direction on my Air Conditioner unit. Thanks for your time.
Really I am sorry you feel I say you do no good.
Hello,
I am writing to you because I am concerned about a close friend of mine. She is a single mother of a 10 year old daughter and a caretaker for her mother and father which have a number of medical needs and live on SSI. Her AC unit blew out last year and now she is dealing with deadly heat in her home. She needs a free aid conditioner. Herself, her daughter, pets and parents are all at risk. She’s needing a full repair of her AC unit or a swamp cooler that would cool a double wide trailer. We are in Texas where the temperatures are reaching triple digits. The heat of course is becoming dangerous for all of them. Would it be possible, or know of an organization where a unit such as yours can be donated to her? We’ve tried local charities for free air conditioners and already have a GoFundMe page set up. If you like, you can reach me. Below is her GoFundMe page.
I am writing on the behalf of my sister who lives in Horn Lake, MS. She was just informed that her a/c furnace has completely gone out and since it is so old parts cannot be ordered to fix it. So, she will have to purchase an entirely new air conditioner unit which will cost her $2700.00. Are there any organizations in Desoto County that can help her with the cost of this?
Spent all day yesterday talking to 5 different agencies who only helped with bills. They have no emergency situations when a heater or air conditioner goes out from paying bills to insulation. Nothing on a furnace or AC unit.
Where does the Agency fall under govern or senator?
I am sorry but we have been searching and I was given last night a local 211 information number for assistance that started this sad circle over again.
If I sound a little desperate for an air conditioner unit I am I would like someone to understand.
Where do we go it's starting to get cold or hot at night we have little heaters in other rooms but I am worried for the water pipes when it starts to get colder during the fall and winter.
Yes, you definitely need an air conditioner in Florida. Good for you in trying to help your mother. There are units here, mostly from charities. Find information on free air conditioners.

I am trying to help my mother, as she has no AC unit in her home. She moved to winter haven, FL about a year ago and bought a mobile home and someone removed the unit.
I just recently lost my job and have no way to help her. She cannot live in this home with no AC. She has only her SSI check and can't afford to purchase one herself.
Is there anything you all can do, or recommend for her. I worry about her everyday now that summer is at our door.
Thank you for any help you may provide.
Sincerely,
To whom it may concern,
I currently deployed to Kuwait and will be returning to my home in Clarksville TN in December 2016. I took leave (Vacation) in December time frame, while on leave my AC unit stopped working and I had no heat and the cooling system didn't work either.
I called an Air Conditioner repair company to check the unit and was told it was going to cost around $3000. The repair man told me that I would be better off replacing the system because it is an old model, 14 years old, and the life of an AC unit is 12 years. The company estimated the total cost of the new unit, installed and all for $14000. I can’t offered this amount so my question is would there be a grant to help me replace or fix the unit? My annual income is $37,994.40, please let me know if there is any service to assist me.
To whom it may concern:
Hi, I am a house wife with only my husband working 35-40 hours a week and 4 children between the ages of 4-10. We are from Los Fresno’s, TX. We have had our home for 10 years already and need government help on replacing our AC system or at least getting it fixed. With this summer being extremely hot it has become real uncomfortable dealing with a hot home.
We have survived but we are not used to it. Please respond back as to where I can get government assistance on my home air conditioning unit. Thank You! Any info is greatly appreciated.
I am an admin of a Facebook page called Okaloosa County helping hands. It is a group where people try to pay it forward. They can ask for help and others can post items they no longer need. We have been seeing a lot of request for free air conditioners. Mostly people in trailers and people with lung issues. We are in Fort Walton Beach Florida and surrounding areas. Do you have any advice on where to call for any help?
Yes, each year there are charities (including the Salvation Army) that provide these items. In addition to them there are other places to turn to for free air conditioners. If you have a sick kid that will also help you when you are applying.
My central air unit stopped working and I have a newborn son in the house. I was wondering if project now has a program that gives free window air conditioner units. We live in a mobile home, and it gets extremely hot. My son spent the first week of his life in the NICU because of his breathing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I have a friend whose parents are on disability and their A/C went out. They do not have the money to pay a company to fix it but what they need is someone honest to come look at it and see what is actually wrong with it give an honest opinion and get it fixed without charging an arm and leg. They are proud people and don’t want something for nothing just get the air conditioner fixed as cheaply as possible, preferably for free. They have fans right now but it is extremely hot during the day.
Please let me know if you can recommend someone in the Baytown, TX area that could help.
I am a disabled senior with a fixed income and I had to call the fire department on July 6th because my air conditioning unit blew up....The owner of the trailer park is out of the country and my manager here cannot get the "so-called" maintenance guys to come and fix my A/C unit. They say they will be here & don't show up or even reply to her messages. I am SWELTERING here since the temperature has been in the 100's lately and now it's humid after it rained....Can you PLEASE direct me to ANYONE that could get me a free fan because I have no money & can't take much more of this ????
ANY help will be appreciated. I have been calling organizations & haven't received anything positive at all. Thank you very much.
Air conditioner programs are very rare, even in Texas. Also, a focus is usually on the elderly or seniors in the region, and this is only when they are available, which is not common. Maybe try CEAP in Texas, which is a low income energy program. Learn more.
Here is the contact information for weatherization in Texas. Whether they provide free air conditioners or not, we would be doubtful. But you can call and ask. Maybe try a place like the Salvation Army as well. Sometimes they have free fans or AC units. While they may be used, they are better than nothing. So here are the details on Texas weatherization assistance.
