Re: Help with water and electric bills
I didn't put in much info last time. My husband and I both work full time jobs, but we are still struggling to pay our bills. Our water bill got so backed up that we owe $567 and change right now. We have paid over $300 in the past 90 days and are facing disconnect. I am trying everything now for help. I'm pregnant now and just had a miscarriage 6 weeks ago, so I'm trying to not add more stress, as well as be healthy and have water. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
I'm in Westerville Ohio.

Re: Need Help ASAP with our Electric & Water Bills
Many organizations exist in Cape Coral and Lee County to help with electric and water bills. Try the following
The Salvation Army of Lee County (239) 278-1551
Lehigh Community Services 239-369-5818
There are other places listed here. http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... grams.html
While it is true they usually have limited funding and can run out of money, you need to call as many places as possible. Just keep searching and trying. Good luck.

We reside in Lee County (Cape Coral) Florida.
Our Electric Co. is LCEC (Lee Cty Florida), and Water Co. is Cape Coral Water (Florida).
Currently at this time we are in Serious hardship with the Water Bill being over $300 dollars behind, while my Boyfriends job is still not running on Full-Time hours. He works 32-40 hrs a week @ $9 an hour. The water is to be turned OFF soon.
The LCEC Electric bill currently is $196.32 behind (one month) with new bill kicking in on the 10th and will be turned off on 10/20/2010 if amount behind is not paid.
My boyfriend is doing what he can to keep us afloat with all bills including car ins, rent, gas to work for him (an hour aday)
commute 1 way. I have been unable to find a job since we moved here March 2010, so I do babysitting on the side. I babysit 2 babies, 5 days a week (1 @ 4 mos. old & 1 @ 6 mos. old)
Our daughter has a heart condition since birth. Medical term...(Right Aortic Arch), and her and myself suffer from asthma which require daily treaments by machine.
I'm afraid of the utilities being turned off. We have turned off ourselves non-essential utilities that are NOT needed.
I'm seeking help from someone. 211 was not helpful and organizations in Lee County Flordia are OUT of funding for Utility Bills.
I'm hoping someone could help me out![]()
We are good people in a bad spot at this time.
Thank You in advance.

Re: Help with paying for water bill
Palm Coast and Flagler do have agencies that may be able to help with water and utility bills. The information and contacts are located here.
http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... _prog.html
One of the main places to ask for help is the Northeast Florida Community Action Agency. 386-586-2324. Community action agencies help low income people, the working poor, and people who are struggling to get by. They are always a great place to contact for information and free advice on how to get help with bills, debts and mortgages and foreclosure.

Try calling Impact Community Action at 614.252.2799. Another option is always the Columbus Urban League, and they can be reached at 614.257.6300.
