I need help in Tampa FL with my bills

[Hibernation]

Hello,
Sorry to text but I get NO reception where I live in Tampa and thus cannot send or receive phone calls. Do yawl have any WIFI equipment or such? I could not even make an emergency call if I had to. I needed them last week, but the call won’t go through.
I apologize for having several needs, but I recently got rehoused through the Bridge Homeless Shelter (so grateful). They gave no furniture voucher, nothing but a small (grateful) welcome basket. No silverware, plates, can opener... nothing. I lost everything I owned and lived on the streets or in the car then the Bridge.
FAN. I desperately need a fan for my bedroom. If I had a bed, I cannot sleep in that room because its unbearably hot.
BED: Currently sleeping on the dog’s bed (she smells!) in the living room. I really just want a queen-size camping mattress and foam topper at Walmart so I can pack it easily when I move. Super comfortable, adjustable, and cheap! The original 'Air Mattress' one might say!
ELECTRICITY. Due 9/11. $25ish It’s a small amount but I have ZERO income until disability comes. They're still deciding.
BUS PASS for doctors’ appointments in downtown Tampa
9/12 to Metro on Samuel
9/13 to PARKLAND for an MRI on my spinal cord injury. Doctor says URGENT so I must go.
ONGOING I’m considering donating plasma to pay for car insurance, inspection, and registration (2 years past due).
Appointments say get it done by end of Sept or they will tow it.
Car repair.
2014 Camry. Isn’t shifting property and RPMs are too high. It’s not a bad car and, once driven, is much easier and safer than the buses. I can’t walk very far from the bus stop to my destination. Carrying groceries (SNAP) is impossible because I cannot lift due to back injury. But it will have expenses too. Dang, I can’t even call Paratransit if I was awarded it.
Is there any other way to earn some money OTHER than plasma donation? I cannot work.
Thank you for reading this run-on text. I'm a mess I know but I'm trying.
I AM sorry.
Barbara

Hello.
My wife (Kathirye) and I (Olivia) are looking for a place to live and have no money saved up. We are looking for help to get into housing of some kind but not sure where to go for help in Tampa. We've looked, but most postings we find are either taking only one person, wanting to charge rent for each person, or don't consider Doordash a "real job". We work Doordash together and bring in around $1200/month so not enought to pay our bills so need help with food and everything too. We would need at least 2 bedrooms as my mentally (mentally 12 to 14 yrs old) challenged 43 year old brother is coming to live with us soon. Can anyone please help us to get into a low income apartment or housing situation as soon as possible and show us where to get money for the utilities and other bills? Thanks in advance for your help and time.

Hi Karena
Thank you for being a burse and trying to help people. We hope you are getting the care you need in Tampa, and would imagine since you work at the hospital we hope you get great service from your in effect co-workers. But here is a list of assistance programs for the county and city of Tampa. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... tance.html

Hi My name Is Karena and I work for Tampa general hospital as a nurse. But due to my health I’ve been in and out the same hospital. This has been causing me to miss work and put me in an emergency financial situation where I am behind on all bills and seeking financial assistance with either my Rent, electric or water. I was previously sleeping in my car and now I have a home here in Tampa and been in the hospital. It has caused me to be behind on this month’s bills.
If you guys can assist, I would really appreciate it. Anything would help with the emergency that I am facing at the moment. My zip code is 33647.
