Re: Disabled and need help as have limited income

Post by Admin - Jon McNamara »

Is that in Lincoln County Nebraska? If so, here is info on non-profits, charities, and agencies.
If a disabled child may be homeless there should be many places to help with that. Both disabled, and child, tent to have more access then others to assistance.
try calling the Community Action Partnership of Mid-Nebraska at (308) 865-5681. They offer various aid programs and support, both government programs and local non-profit agencies. Good luck, and I hope you can help the family.

The disabled can usually tend to get more access to government programs, benefits, and other forms of aid.
Usually power and water service companies are more flexible for the disabled as well
Here are some of the programs in your part of Kansas that can help you with the utility bills, and provide you with overall general assistance and free service.
Try calling the following places.
Cross-Lines Community Outreach, Inc. offers a thrift store, possible funds for utility bills, counseling, and get help with deal with those Kansas and Wyandotte County assistance programs.
Also try calling the Economic Opportunity Foundation at (913) 371-7800
You can also get foreclosure, housing, and advise for other bills.

I don't sleep due to the fear of being cut off on any of my utility bills. I have cut down all my bills to the last penny, and my disability check still is not enough to cover expenses. I'm in fear that I will not have electric power and water. PLEASE HELP ME!
If you can help me in anyway PLEASE email me at:

Use the link to the main site to find information on assistance programs in Wilmington and New Hanover County North Carolina. There are different places that can help you with your housing, and some may require waiting lists and some may not.
Maybe the first places to call for your situation is the New Hanover County Community Action, Inc. and theirphone number is (910) 762-1177. While you may not be a resident yet, they may have some options or services that you can use, or places to contact, to help you get settled in your your home state.

I do continue to pray and hold to the faith that Our Good Lord shall provide what we need but I also feel that we need to put forth the effort of finding that help. I hope to hear from you soon.

Disability check not enough

How can I get assistance to help me to keep afloat. I'm disabled. I receive a disability check. But that's hardly anything to help in these horrible times we're in.

Bullhead city is in Mohave County, along with Kingman Arizona. You need to contact local agencies to apply for assistance for him, or disability, or whatever else you need. Call such places as the Mohave County Community Services Department at 753-0723. They offer such assistance programs as the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP). It provides rent, utility, security deposit and other aid.
