Need Help ASAP with our Electric & Water Bills
Posted: Wed Oct 13, 2010 12:42 pm
We are a family of 3. My boyfriend, our daughter, and myself.
We reside in Lee County (Cape Coral) Florida.
Our Electric Co. is LCEC (Lee Cty Florida), and Water Co. is Cape Coral Water (Florida).
Currently at this time we are in Serious hardship with the Water Bill being over $300 dollars behind, while my Boyfriends job is still not running on Full-Time hours. He works 32-40 hrs a week @ $9 an hour. The water is to be turned OFF soon.
The LCEC Electric bill currently is $196.32 behind (one month) with new bill kicking in on the 10th and will be turned off on 10/20/2010 if amount behind is not paid.
My boyfriend is doing what he can to keep us afloat with all bills including car ins, rent, gas to work for him (an hour aday)
commute 1 way. I have been unable to find a job since we moved here March 2010, so I do babysitting on the side. I babysit 2 babies, 5 days a week (1 @ 4 mos. old & 1 @ 6 mos. old)
Our daughter has a heart condition since birth. Medical term...(Right Aortic Arch), and her and myself suffer from asthma which require daily treaments by machine.
I'm afraid of the utilities being turned off. We have turned off ourselves non-essential utilities that are NOT needed.
I'm seeking help from someone. 211 was not helpful and organizations in Lee County Flordia are OUT of funding for Utility Bills.
I'm hoping someone could help me out
We are good people in a bad spot at this time.
Thank You in advance.
