So you are looking for options in Travis County / Austin for you? Or your mom in that other city We are not sure. But if it is Austin, try this for Austin TX area assistance programs. There are many programs and organizations listed.

Let me start by saying thank you for your time first of all. I'm not really sure if this is the right place to email... my name is Kat and I'm in Austin, Texas. My mother lives in Huntington, Texas and has gone to a service about a year ago (I took her there) and they were gracious enough to pay a utility bill.
I've been paying for what I can, but as you can imagine as most places are these days, everything just costs so much money. This month I won't be able to help her with her light bill. Maybe her landline bill as well. But I'm not sure what's considered a utility since it seems like no one has a landline these days anymore. I work from 8-5 M-F and do delivery jobs around those hours where I can. Recently my car broke down so I've been taking the bus to work and can no longer get extra income from the delivery services I was working for. This has inhibited me to be able to help my mom and also make a way to come see her at this time to take her anywhere.
She also does not have a car anymore unfortunately. If this isn't the place to email, are there any pieces of info that may guide me in the right place? She is a veteran and her funding was recently stopped for six months as well, so it does feel like an emergency.
I can't say at the time of this email when her electric bill is due, but any insight or efforts are appreciated. Even if you're reading this far... it's so appreciated! So, thank you.
Feel free to call me if you have any questions. Kat.
