I have gone a week without lights and water. I just got paid today and paid $300 towards my bill and they put on my water and gas until the next week. I need 200 more to be paid or they will cut it back off. I paid $400 towards my light bill and they are telling me I need 266 more to turn on my lights. I don't have means of cooking or keeping food cold as the cut my gas too.
I have two children which is both special needs and I don't get any assistance from anyone or any type of funds. I am in Jeopardy of losing my vehicle which gets me back and forth to work. The last bit of money I have I have to put on the back rent. I went through a series of incidents this year that has landed me in this situation and catching back up has been very difficult. I really sleep as I'm always on the road doing a side hustle just to put food on the table for that day. This is a breakdown of my expenses which does not include all the needs that my children have or the day-to-day expenses. I have a cyst under my tooth I have not been able to do anything within 2 years because I am mainly focusing on keeping things stable for my children. My back is against the wall and I don't have anyone that will help me but more so to talk about me and my children. I don't know who else to go to becuase I exhausted all resources.

For these types of bill (that cover gas, electric, water, lights, etc) there are many programs from utility companies, charities and states. But they are specific to local areas, so people need to look for programs in their community. And we have a list of utility help near where you may live.

We highly doubt you ill get over $800 to pay the Centerpoint bill. That is a large amount due. However the company does offer some payment plans and programs such as Lend a Helping Hand and many others. But these will have strict application criteria in place. Anyway, find the Louisiana Centerpoint assistance programs and maybe some can help with your utilities.

I need help on my Center point energy gas bill. I owe for payment 832.03 to keep the gas on from being disconnected. I need my gas on and for I have a child to look out for and keep her and my family warm need a program with a discount on my gas bill. Is there anything with low payments to save energy on your gas bill.

I am writing to request some possible assistance for a light bill that I cannot afford right now - I have been unemployed for quite some time and need assistance. I have another interview coming up and I would much appreciate the help as I work towards some earned income. My vehicle decided to need some repairs and that was most of the setback. I am on a very tight budget, because of the lack of availability of employment in the Baton Rouge area. Thank you.

I am a mother of two sons and a daughter. I live in Kansas City, MO. I have a son that lives in St. Louis and I am hoping you can help me help him, his wife and two kids. I live from pay check to pay check and I can only afford so much for myself and the boys when they are in need. My son and his family are in dire straits with their water turn off and the electricity getting ready to be turned off and possibly the gas. They have come across some hard times just like everyone and I am not assuming they are the only ones going through this but they tried to work with the water company and they wouldn't even take a payment before it was turned off and after it was turned off. I think we should all work with people that are going through hard times and I am hoping that you can lend a helping hand so my son and his family can have water while trying to get back on their feet. They are struggling like everyone else but someone can always lend a hand to help out the people that really need it and I believe my son and his family really need someone to just lend a hand to put the water back on. Thank you for reading this and I hope that someone will consider turning my son’s water back on. Thank You Again.

If you are disabled with children, then many utilities have programs in place to protect these individuals from shut off, and will give you priority in getting aid. Some funds may help with connections too. Find details on the South Dakota utility assistance programs and services too. Call local resources too in South Dakota like the Salvation Army.

Water bills are harder to get assistance with paying, but you can try. Read our resources and find information here. http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/get ... bills.html
One of the main programs, but is only offer by some limited water companies, is the H2O Help to Others Program. It operates by some companies in Florida, Texas, California, and other states. Maybe call your company and ask about this option. Also ask about Low Income Payment Programs (LIPP) too.

I've looked through the available info and cannot find anything regarding my county. I lose my electricity on Friday if I can't come up with the money to pay the bill. I've lost all my income and am very ill. My electric company has told me that they don't care if I die as long as the bill gets paid on Friday. Not sure where to go or what to do. I've lost a lot of my monthly needs things and now it looks like the electric is next.

That is great that you reviewed site, got phone numbers, and called Richmond Virginia area agencies. That is what we would recommend. Not much more than that. Just to be sure, you used this resource http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/hen ... _prog.html If not, try it for more phone numbers, agencies to call, and/or contact information. That is the most effective resource we can use to provide you information and help for the low income and uninsured in the community. Also look into the food banks in the region for free groceries.

We have rent to pay that is $895 a month, trying to see if you will have any money left to get groceries or purchase medication. There are is no one or person that I we can get help from. I have been trying and trying to get help. I know that with the economy it is hard to try and find help, but I know that in my heart there is some place I will find to get help with my bills. I would appreciate if your company know a way, please, please send me information t getting help. Thank you in advance and if a very, very blessed day.

Here are several non-profits and charities in the Atlanta and Fulton County area. Call them. Many may have special aid for people that are pregnant. Probably the number one place to call for help is the Fulton Atlanta Community Action Authority (FACAA). Phone number 404.320.0166.
Another good place to call is the North Fulton Community Charities. Phone (770) 640-0399
Use this link to find many programs in the Atlanta and Fulton County area. Also explore the site overall as thousands of programs and charities are referenced.
