Emergency Help with Electric Bill - Where to get it?

[shani]

My mom is on oxygen and I just came across this place after an internet search for emergency assistance. I need help badly and fast. PLEASE ANYONE!!!! The place were we live won't let us stay here if anyone of the utilities get cut off and I've been looking for a cheaper and better place. She has a concentrator from Lincare made by Invacare called the Perfecto. Please someone HELP US!

I applied for help with the local EOA Monday and Georgia Power said all the lady had to do was call them and tell them that we applied. I called and checked with Georgia Power today and they said that she didn't do anything and I called her office after and she starts yelling about not wanting to lose her job. How can you lose your job over one simple phone call to Georgia Power? It's part of the job when people apply for emergency assistance to call the company.

Why would she lie to me? Theis is VERY IMPORTANT! to ANYONE that will HELP I'll send the cut off notice for tomorrow and the bill (It's $236.03) to you if you want to see it first hand. Is there any way that anyone can help me before or by tomorrow? ANYONE PLEASE???? ALL I"M ASKING FOR IS A LITTLE HELP!

I live in Burke County, Waynesboro, Georgia The Company is Georgia Power
