For your electric shut off, use this link for energy assistance. Select your state, as most utility companies offer some form of financial assistance.
Also look for rent and other utility help using this resource, and get assistance from community action agency. They may be able to provide help with rent, debt and credit counseling, and even have information on free medical care. Now the major counties are on the link, but information on basically every county is also located on the site.

I can no longer pay my rent or utilities, my electric is due to be shut off any day now. I really don't know what to say or do. I am trying so hard to find work to support myself. I feel quite pathetic for even posting this but if anyone knows of any grants or assistance I might qualify for I would greatly appreciate any advice. I also just found out I am pregnant. I have no family to help me and I am soon going to be homeless.
