Good morning, my name is Carlos, I am a single parent of two beautiful kids Carlos E. 15 years old and Gabriela M. 13 years old. We live in a mobile home in Tucson AZ. I am 60 years old and was born with, Poland syndrome with complications with, winged scapula a very painful condition that I have had to endure my whole life, 10 years ago.
I had to endure an experimental treatment with daily injections of interferon for Hep-C for a year and half, treatment did not work but it debilitated me greatly, lost 50 lb. Then I was diagnosed with uncontrollable hypertension, bipolar anxiety disorder by Cope, my wife, mother of my kids was deported back in 2015, and could not bring her back, finally I became fully disable in January of 2025 according to SSA.
On July 24 my landlords’ lawyer Mr. David Teasel filled for foreclosure because I have not paid mortgage since June of 2025 it’s an owner carried loan, plus fees.
We are also behind on all utilities and received since June 3 SSA checks for $571.00. The stress it’s too much and my situation it’s not very common we have food stamps and access insurance, I don’t know with to do. I am seeing Dr's for rheumatoid arthritis Dr. Rhodate sports med. And going on the 28 of these months to the clinic for spine pain, please if you can direct me on how to get help, we'll be forever thankful. Thank you very much for your time. Sincerely Carlos sr.

Hi,
Thanks for the comment, but you obviously mentioned a lot there. One key thing was disability though too, so try this for help for the disabled in AZ. Tucson area programs are listed too.
As far as other options, as we posted below, here are local Tucson and Pima County financial assistance programs.

Being on such a very low, fixed income is extremely difficult as it is with normal bills and necessities, however if any type of emergency comes up, such as repairing our car, or fixing the crown that has fallen out of my FRONT tooth WELL that's where things get to the point of stress I can't even describe.

I am a permanently disabled single Mother of an Autistic 9-year-old and a 14-year-old living in Tucson. Our 17-year-old car was in dire need of maintenance and repair two months ago. Being on such a very low, fixed income is extremely difficult as it is with normal bills and necessities, however if any type of emergency comes up, such as repairing our car, or fixing the crown that has fallen out of my FRONT tooth WELL that's where things get to the point of stress I can't even describe. My original tooth under my front tooth crown has rotted under it with a huge cavity and there is no way I can afford to replace and fix it. We have no lights on our 8-year-old tree for school. Due to our car putting us in a hole so badly it's impossible to even pay our regular bills this month, as I had to take from that money to pay for repairs. These financial issues obviously don’t even include Christmas coming up. I don't know how to explain this situation to a 9-year-old Autistic child, or my nonautistic child for that matter. I am $400 under for gas/ electric, cable and phone due to the car and there isn't one gift under the tree for my boys. No child should have memories such as this. I would so greatly appreciate anything you could do or tell us where to go in Tucson to help my boys... Thank you so very much and may God Bless your family and always! Thank you.

Hi Elizabeth
We have many programs listed for Tucson. But also since your wallet was stolen, did you report that to the police?
As far as the funds to help you, or a charity, etc. Look here for assistance in Tucson. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... ogram.html
But if you are applying, and what you say really happened, it would not surprise us if the organization wants to see proof of a police report or something.

I need help to pay bills in Tucson

Post by Lucas »

To it may concern,
My name is Elizabeth from Tucson Arizona and I need help paying bills. I need 187.08 for rent and 130.00 for electricity. I am disabled due to being SMI (seriously mentally ill), so I don't work. My wallet got stollen which had all my bill cash in it because I just got paid and withdrew it from the ATM. Go figure. My parents can pay 500 of my rent but can't pay the rest and can't pay for my electricity. Which I understand as they have 5 kids, they have to take care of. So, I'm looking for some other way to get it paid. For rent is due on the 3rd at the latest and electric is due on the 13th since. I have a 10-day grace period. If you can help me, even tell me where to go in Tucson, in any way I would really greatly appreciate it. Thank you. Sincerely Elizabeth
