Hello,
My name is Henrietta and I currently live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. So as of right now I'm currently trying not to get evicted from our home. I've found some where else to move to but I don't have the funds for the deposit or first month's rent. It's me, my wife, and my 3 year old son who has Global Developmental Delay Disorder. So with my son having this issue my wife had to quit her job to stay home with him and take him to all of his counseling and treatment. Well that leaves us with one income of $48,000 a year before taxes and that's the income I bring in. So honestly I'm looking for any kind of help with bills, food, transportation, and most of all the help with deposit and first months rent. So any help that you can provide would be amazing.

Hi Amanda,
$2400 is a lot of money for back rent, but you can try one of these Colorado Springs agencies. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... istan.html

For the utility bills in El Paso County CO, the Salvation Army is often a good resource. If it will stop an eviction from occurring. Find details here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... ista1.html

Hello my name is Amanda, please let me thank you in advance for taking the time to read this email. I am 48 years old and I've been struggling to stay afloat these last few years. Sadly I have to admit I haven't done a good job of this. And i find myself 2 months in arrears for my rent. I owe $2400 dollars. I also need help to get my utility bill paid. I'm trying everything to get up this money that went to paying my taxes and medical bills all of which was unexpected expenses. I'm asking for help! Please if you can find it in your hearts to help I'd be totally grateful.

Hello I pray you are having a great day. I am emailing you for rental assistance in El Paso County Colorado and the Colorado Springs area. I was homeless for three years over three then got blessed with a job which is a property management firm. They had help me by putting me in rental units that I did the maintenance and painting on. Now I am in a home that I’m paying $1900 a month for With utilities. In order to move in the Colorado Springs Metro area in I had to pay $1500 deposit for $1500 first month rent. Because I had to pay this $3000 I am running short to pay April’s rent. I am asking if there’s any resources that I may be able to use for a one time rental assistance ASAP. I have worked really hard to get to where I’m at and I don’t want to fall backwards become homeless again. I thank you for your time and effort and have a very blessed weekend.

There is not much anyone can really do with a car payment/repossession issue. Maybe try credit counseling in Colorado for advice. There may also be some charities that focus on assisting cancer patients, including arranging a ride for them for their jobs and what not. So while we did respond, you are right in that there is not much we can do.

I am a mother of three and a wife of a rare find these days. I was recently diagnosed with cancer. I have been increasingly ill for the last four months which led to my diagnosis. Lost my job as a result of being ill, and my family and I were evicted. Now we are facing having our vehicle repossessed.
My husband, works EVERYDAY, to try to keep us afloat. I have surgery to try and remove the cancer in the next few weeks. We live in Colorado Springs, CO and I am begging you to please respond, even if you can't help, ASAP. My family has been through a lot in the last few months, this would be devastating and detrimental to our family.

There are some programs that may help. We are not sure, but we can provide you phone numbers and contact information for you to call. Use this link to find the El Paso County assistance programs and agencies. Make some calls here. A good place to call is Pikes Peak Community Action Agency. Ask about the weatherization program which may help with furnace repairs. Also ask about Energy $avings Partnership Program as well as Energy Outreach Colorado.
Find many more programs specific to utility assistance in Colorado from this resource. Keep calling around.
