Help. I am disabled and unable to pay my bills

[Admin - Jon McNamara]

It appears as if you live in Wisconsin. But what county or city in that state? Without knowing that hard for us to provide specifics details on programs or resources that you can use. So use this link for Wisconsin financial assistance programs, scroll mid way down the page, then pick your city. How are your bills $4500 per month, or did you mean $450? Anyway to work at all?

Did you look into all the free health care resources, programs, and agencies out there? They operate across New Jersey too. While it is never certain that they can help with your specific need of knee surgery or operation, you should look into the free health care options. For example, there are community clinics, federal government run and funded Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), national non-profit organizations, and other free or low cost programs. Some may offer a sliding fee scale, so you need to pay some money towards bills.

I have lived in Nutley, NJ for 4 years with my
husband. We had a good life and then my husband lost his job of 20
years.
Then he moved to Target where this year the company laid him off. My
son and my family have helped with the rent and the bills and everyone
is getting low on funds. This June we do not have the rent even with
the help of everyone. I am trying to heal from arthritis that has
paralyzed me for a
good ten years. I had an operation in 2002 with 4 tears. The surgeon
did not repair the acl stating it would be to tight to walk. For the
past ten years I have had lightening bolts of pain running through my
body. It is fine for months and then one day the pain stays and I am
flat on my back for months. I am sleeping and the hammers are breaking
my knee caps, it feels that way. I have gone to doctors and they all
told me I am crazy and it is all in my head.
Two months ago, I joined a gym for $22 a month. The first 3 weeks the
pain in the knees were horrible just like before. This time though I
kept it up and been going to the gym for 2 months now and although I
have pain from the exercise the lightening bolts are not there.
I feel relieved I am not crazy but so angry at all of the doctors not
telling me that if I did not exercise the acl that I would be in so
much pain.
I cannot get back 10 years of my life but now I just have to lose the
weight of 75 pounds. Before when I exercised the pains would come back
and I would always have to stop. This time I saw a trainer saw my
doctor and just was pleasantly surprised.
I could not work for the past 10 years, I did have a full time job
then a part time job then a temp job now I can concentrate on myself.
I need help with the rent this month I will me about $400 to $600
short. I have been trying to buy food and pay some bills I just do
not have enough money this month.
My car died last year so I am borrowing my daughter in laws car a Ford
Navigator and it is pricy for gas.
I still cannot sit for long periods of time as my knee does go out I
will have to figure it out.
I need a job, I need rental assistance this month and maybe next
month. for June and July
My husband took a Sora course and now is a security guard. He received
his license this passed Friday, May 20, 2011.
He will be looking for work starting this Sunday and Monday.

So what in particualr do they need help paying? Is it more all bills, are focused on the rent from the new apartment? I think maybe you want to view the main site for all resources and programs that can help with bills. Basically dozens of programs, national charities, and other programs are out there. Service exist for the disabled too. And help for medical bills and expenses and resulting issues. Look into section 8 too if disabled.

Ms.Key's husband passed away in april 2011 which he paid most of the bills; she draws Disability of $845. per month.I have found her an apartment but it runs $550. a month she can only afford 250-300. month, all of the low income apartments at Paddock Ridge are taken so they just have the $550..She is also on the waiting list at the housing authorities that list is 6 months to 1 year long."HELP Her Please

Yes, disability payments from the government are usually not enough. Did you try to supplement the payments with any type of part time income. Also look into TANF, cheap groceries from programs like Feeding America, call your local Salvation Army and Catholic Charities. In addition, a listing of food banks and pantries in Indiana is here. There are a bunch of non-profits to call in the state for free food and other forms of assistance, both financial and just for food.

While I am not sure exactly which town or county you are looking to move to in Massachusetts, here is information on the various assistance programs across the state. Scroll mid way down to find towns and counties. There is also information on free Massachusetts health clinics and medical centers. Maybe they can help you with the spinal cord disability too. There are definitely housing programs in most parts of Massachusetts too. Maybe they have some funds for moving costs? Call and ask them.

I am a 53 year old woman that is permanently disabled with a spinal cord disease that there is no cure for and is known to get worse with time. I presently live in Lakeland, Florida alone. I have been here 2 years and in this time my disease has progressed so that I am having trouble even taking care of myself. My disability check does not cover my lot rent and my house loan, car loan, utilities etc. I want to move back to Massachusetts so I can be close to my daughter who can help me with the physical care I need.
Do you have any suggestions how I can get back to Massachusetts with assistance for housing primarily. I need to leave florida as the plan I had fell through here, and now my health deterioration is causing me to need help and my daughter is the only one to help me.
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Do you think being disabled I can get housing assistance quicker? I need to be around my old doctors also in Massachusetts as the ones here in Florida are not supportive of the constant pain I live in. I would want to move to the North shore of Boston if that helps in any information you can give me. Many thanks, and God bless.

What county or city in New Jersey? Without knowing that I can't provide specifics. However go ahead and pick your county from the list on this page for programs and charities. They can often provide help with expenses such as utilities, free food, rent, debt counseling, and much more. Those who get Social Security Disability or are disabled are usually on the top of the list for help.

I am on the list for Section 8, but in the mean time I can't afford to pay my rent and live. I live in an old mobile home badly in need of repair and no money to make the repairs. Any ideas for rental assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

Sorry to hear about the ankle. Many utility programs have program for disabled, especially short term disabled like you should be classified as. Some places in Rochester NY and Monroe County include Action for a Better Community, Inc. (ABC), which has a phone number of (585) 295-1825. The Rochester Salvation Army(585) 987-9540 also offers aid. So some of these places may have energy bill help, or they can direct you to programs from utility companies themselves. Like LIHEAP, weatherization, or other emergency assistance.

I would like to know whom I could contact for getting some aid for when I go in 3/1/11 until probably June. I would need at least 1 month rent, electric/heat. I appreciate any advice you can give me.

Is it your mortgage and housing payments you need help with. if so, here is a listing of programs, including those from banks, your state and federal government, and mortgage servicers.

I am on disability I have to pick myself up and do it to make it I rob peter to pay Paul since his death. But school for our daughter cost alot I cant even get food stamps because of the same reason. I have always been on the other foot giving and giving but now I know what its like to ask. This is my info any amount I would be thankful for. I could take what ever is gave and put it toward groceries , electric or gas bill. Thank you so much for taking your time to read my email god bless and take care,
