Hello, my name is Kelly and I am a 30 yr old single mother of two. I am currently finishing up school at Delgado Community College, and I've been working a part time job, but I am severly backed up on my utility bill and rent. I am about to have my electricity turned off and facing possible eviction. I am in a severe crisis. I need help. I have been applying anywhere and everywhere for a job, but the holidays are here and I really don't want my children to suffer through my struggles. Please help.

There are different services and organizations in New Orleans Louisiana. It sounds like you are trying to become that medical assistant, and getting any type of job offer is great in todays day and age.
I think some of the places you may want to try calling are the Total Community Action, Inc., as this non-profit agency runs the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Phone (504) 872-0334. It can help with utility, electric and cooling bills.

Another options that provides a bunch of emergency and aid programs is the Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans, and the phone number for that place is 504-523-3755. 7 kids is a lot, but hopefully these places have some limited funding for you.

He is extremely self reliant believing it is his duty to take care of it all,"I'm the man,its my job" is what he says. Although he is the man and a wonderful one at that, we have hit a point stop if you will, our electricity is getting disconnected tomorrow. We are a few months behind on paying the electric bill. We live in Island County Washington. We are having no luck getting it,which brings me to my question after great amounts of rambling (sorry). Does anyone know of places, churches, day labors that might assist us with this bill? Myself or my husband are not apposed to work. We will definitely work (VERY HARD) for assistance. If anyone knows of anywhere it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your patience may everyone be blessed every day of your life. Happy Holidays!

Clearwater is in Pinellas County Florida, and there are places to turn to for help for paying that $179 water and electric bill.
http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... e_pro.html
You can try the local community action agency, which is Pinellas Opportunity Council, Inc. (POC). Phone number 327-8690. they offer an emergency and crisis program for such critical needs as water bills, rent, and energy.
Another option may be the Pinellas County Urban League, and there number is 727.327.2081. This is another organization with assistance programs for you.

You really have a special needs son and they are threatening a disconnection? I think that is illegal. Utility companies do not want bad press like that, and I think disabled are almost always offered special programs. Here is a link for programs in Rhode Island, some of which can help with utilities. Also if you look at the left margin you will find how to get free legal help. You should explore that option too, as I do think it is illegal.

How can they focus to file unemployment? Were you fired for cause, like stealing? I would like into that. You can speak to an attorney for free. Use the find free legal advise section of the main website.
In the meantime, here are various assistance programs for Indianapolis and Marion County Indiana.
Catholic Charities of Indianapolis has many programs for low income individuals, including financial assistance for bills and debts. (phone # 317.466.0015)
Of course another is the Community Action of Greater Indianapolis, Inc., which is a non profit that can direct you to grant programs, financial aid, and many other services. Dial (317) 396-180.
Definitely speak to an attorney in Indianapolis though

Is that Bond County Illinos? Who is your utility company? There are numerous programs that can help with low income housing and energy bills in Illinois. Here is a great resource. Also scroll to the bottom of the page here for energy specific programs. Who is your water provider?

We have been staying with my fiances parents in the time being. We have a young daughter, 16 months old.

Please, please, we need help, I am going to try to pay half of my electric bill, but I can not pay water and only paying half does not mean it will be turned on.

I have been searching every where for a program that helps with Water and Rent, but can't find one.

We live in Greenville IL.

We did not intend for this to happen, we are trying to apply for low income housing, but the waiting list is a 9 month wait.
And we can't stay with his parents that long, please, help.

Thank you.

Los Angeles electric and natural gas bill assistance exists. The link below provides much info. In addition, so more specifics include the following:

PG&E offers the Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA). Call the utility company and ask them about it. Basically what it does it is a rate reduction program for large households of multiple family members, which is three or more people with low incomes.

Souther California Edison runs the Energy Assistance Fund, which provides low to moderate income people with a one-time cash grant/financial assistance of $100 during a one-year period. 800-205-8596

The California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) program is offered by all companies. It is for eligible customers and it will give all people a 20 percent discount on electric and natural gas bills. You need to ask your utility company about applying for CARE.

I think you have several options here.

Georgia Heating Energy Assistance Team (HEAT) - The HEAT program is run by the Georgia Department of Human Resources. Contact your local community action agency to apply. So call Central Savannah River Area Economic Opportunity Authority, Inc. (CSRA) at (706) 722-0493 and ask them about assistance for Georgia Power bills

Project Share is an assistance program run by the Salvation Army. 1-800-257-4273

I also do not think a utility company like Georgia Power can legally turn off power in this type of medical case. Here is information on how to get free legal advice in Georgia. You can ask attorneys these questions, and they can take immediate action.

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
