Please I need help with my rent/utilities until my SSI comes thru! I was diagnosed with MS in 2010. I am now on a regular medical treatment but am unable to work. I have retained an attorney to help me with the process of filing until my claim is accepted. Until then my daughter and I are unable to make ends meet. I am receiving food stamps at the moment until my short term disability is exhausted which will be 10 more weeks. Her unemployment has run out and she is trying to find a job but until then I owe this months rent (November)



Please help if you can!

As we say every time, what state? Most assistance programs are local. Until we know that almost impossible for us to provide any information. Until we know more find your state, then county, suing this resource.

He thinks I can live off $177 and the part-time job and the manager who hiring me so I might get only 15-20 a week, maybe less than that.

Our rent is 600 a month and we also pay utilities - garbage, electricity. My husband works full time and doesn't make much. We have to split up our rent into two payments of 300 a month. And it feels like were barely scraping by every month. Our landlord isn't too happy either. I am a stay at home mom to a 15 month old little girl. Do we fit in any category to be helped with rent and/or utilities help. Thank you.

I need help paying my rent and possibly electric bill this month. Normally I have no problem paying my bills in full on time every month, but I was on a LOA from getting hurt and am on restrictions at work. So unfortunately I don't work. I have light duty available for my 11 hour shift but they send me home early. I am in desperate need as I am a single mother of an autistic 3 year old son. Please help.

If you are on leave of absence (LOA) then try FMLA. It is a short term disability program. It can pay you while you recover. Good for you in going back to work though...even if not at full capacity.
