Places in Tennessee for help with bills

[Menendez]

I was receiving unemployment benefits. As of the 28th they suddenly stopped them. My rent is due which is $450 that I don't have. Also my electric is also due which is $117. I never new my benefits were going to be stopped and that's why I’m asking for help. I just moved into my own place on the 3rd of September in Nashville Tennessee and really don't want to loose my place because of my benefits suddenly being stopped with no warning. I have many applications out there and my resume posted all over different places. So please help me. Thanks for your time.

There are some housing programs focused on females in Tennessee. Some take children too. It also sounds like you may be borderline abusive situation too, so that will help your cause. If your name is on the lease, then you are entitled to stay there, so he may need to leave. Find more details on the rental and housing in Tennessee.

I live in Lebanon, TN. I have no vehicle and no income. I have a 5 year old son. My boyfriend and I just broke up and I am currently having to stay with him until I can find a place. He wants me out and reminds me of it several times a day. My name is currently on the lease that ends on March 11th. As soon as that happens, I will have no choice but to leave. I can not go to a shelter because he will take our child away because I do not have a stable home of my own. My mother is low income and is currently staying with who she can because she does not have a home either. So it is best for us to live together until we get back on our feet. Unfortunately, no one can help me until I have an established home, not living with my daughter's father. We desperately need to get away from him, but with no car, no income, and no one to help, I'm afraid I'll be on the streets in a couple weeks and lose custody of my baby. Please help.

I am in desperate need of getting help with my rent and utility bills. I'm diabetic, anemic and have high blood pressure and I don't want to leave my apartment. I've been here in Shelby County for four years, and I feel safe here after an accident I've been through. I am disabled, but I did go back to school on line to try to help myself and finished my Bachelor's degree, and still cannot find a job. Please, someone please help me. I have been paying it forward by encouraging our youth and encouraging individuals on substance abuse that there are much better ways to life then drugs and alcohol. I have a motivational and spiritual page on Facebook where people look for my daily posts. I get up every morning the lord wakes me up and I post before people go to school and to work, and have been doing this for four years now. I was also going to Alternative schools and prisons to bring a ministry to help as well. But I had to return my vehicle and now I can't get around. I have faith that something will come through for me, but I know I have to stop feeling embarrassed and reach out and tell someone what's going on, so I can get the help I need. God bless you whoever you are that reads this and helps me. God bless.

I am trying to find help with monthly bills. I was laid off in November. Even tho my husband works we can not get all of our bills paid. The family we rent from is still making payments on the home in which we live, therefore they can not go with out getting paid. We have gotten behind on everything. I am raising 2 sons one is in the middle of having a root canal the other in need to see the dentist. They have no insurance. I tried getting Tenn care but I do not have the oldest shot records. Is there anyone in the Greeneville Tennessee area that can help?
