Also, since you mentioned Columbia SC, and also need water bill help (in addition to electric) we will send you other local resources too. This includes charities, churches and other organizations for financial help in Richland County https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... _pro1.html

I am a single parent of an 11-year-old son who has ADD/ADHD. He was born addicted to drugs, and his mom passed away in Columbia when he was 2 years old, so I’ve had to take care of him his whole life and electric and rent is always hard. I’m struggling right now and could really use some help.
We live in South Carolina State, in Columbia. If you could assist us, it would mean so much. You can call me at or email me. Thank you.

Hi, I live in Rock Hill South Carolina. I lost my job in September after working there for 2 years. I have 2 daughters, 18 & 8 years old and I am a single parent as of 7 months. I am getting $194 weekly unemployment benefits. My rent is $165 weekly. I use that to keep a roof over me & my girls head, I only have rent and electric bill, no cable.
For the last 2 weeks I have been trying to get help with my electric bill but no success. I don't have an automobile but my mom takes me wherever I need to go, on the days that I can go to the Carolina Community Actions for help, they open at 8:30 am but by the time my mother gets me their which is around 6 am, the line is wrapped around the building. Also they only help the 1st 15 applicants during those 3 days. Well today York Electric turned my power off, and I really don't know where else to turn for help for me and my girls. I'm just reaching out to find help, so if you can, please help me with my Electric bill. Thank you

I need assistance with paying a heating bill and was looking online at LIHEAP Energy Assistance Programs. But I cannot seem to find out how to apply. (Seems one can look at things such as this online, but it is difficult to see exactly how you can go about actually getting this assistance.) Please let me know how to do this and who to contact by phone for this in the state of South Carolina. Please advice ASAP as getting this assistance is very important to me.
I would much prefer someone contact me as I may not have access to the Internet and need electric bill help in SC. A phone call could give you all the information you might need to at least begin this process of applying.
Thank you.

I'm looking for some assistance with my electric and water bills in South Carolina. My light bill runs around $330 on average a month, and the water bill is hard to calculate because of the leaks that occur, but you can say the $250 to $289 range for that bill as well. I'm the only one working in the home. My average take home now is around $556 bi-weekly after deductions. My mother is diabetic and has a hard time staying warm no matter what season. I would like to find a way to upgrade the home or any other assistance with these bills. The windows in the home need replacing because they've been in place for over 40 years. The frames are falling out of them. This will count for a lot of heating and cooling loss. They are covered right now, but that may not last too long. I do not have the credit needed because of some past medical bills on my credit due to surgery.I'm attempting to try and pay on these within the next month. If you could, please point me in the right directions.
