Struggling with bills in Kansas

[Elias Haddad]

My name is Vanessa. I'm a single mother of four children ages 1, 5, 6 and 7 living in Kansas. We recently became homeless and thankfully for my friend's mother who is allowing us to temporarily stay until we find another place. So we have a roof over our head however to get my children to school each day is a 50-mile commute and I just barely started working at a company called Chipotle where I don't make very much money. But I'm trying to do something. I was told that you guys can provide gas cards possibly or any other assistance such as food or housing. Would you could please write me back and let me know what options I have I have in Kansas. I never done this before and I really need help even though I hate to ask. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Please get back to me as soon as can.
Thank you and God

Hello, my name is Aiden and I live in Turon, Kansas. I’m am searching for any kind of assistance to help get my family and I back on our feet as we are struggling. I bought a family vehicle a year or so ago (maybe longer) and shortly after the transmission went out and we weren’t able to get a warranty. We have a set of twins that are 2 years old and another set that are a couple weeks.
We are currently in and out of our families houses trying to find our own that we can afford. I am not able to afford a new or replacement transmission and it’s the only vehicle that can fit all the kids. I’m looking for assistance to get a new one. I don’t have a vehicle either so I’m constantly borrowing a family members. I am working and have been working but we have gotten so far in a hole and I can’t seem to get myself out to help provide for my family. Anything in Kansas will help and if there isn’t any option for us I understand and thank you for your time!

there are many resources for Leavenworth County. there is legal aid, food, furniture, and many other assistance programs. But why did you lose everything? Jobs? Fire? what? As you need to address the root cause.

My husband and I live in Leavenworth Kansas. Wee lost everything due to living with other people’s homes. Now we are homeless and have no family support. I have a lot of serious health issues that need to be addressed and my husband has legal matters.

He is stressed but working his hardest mentally/physically. We are searching for helpful resources to get us off these horrible terrifying streets for a better healthy future we desire so... please can you help us? We are so scared and worried that it might take a death toll on me thru my unsure medical conditions living like this. Homeless, alone, scared, lost and no a cent to our names. We pray every single minute for the strength to keep fighting to survive. But grow weaker and weaker longer... Thank You and God bless You all...

I live in South Hutchinson Kansas. I have been put in a situation that I can get myself out of. My fiancé and I have been together for six years and he just up and left me for another woman. I have two boys ages 16 and 17 they are going to be juniors in high school. The boys start school on Friday, August 19th.
Him leaving has completely side blinded me. He left me with all of the bills pretty much due immediately. I just recently started my own business cleaning. I only have two clients at the time. I am seeking more. I also got a job with a local Real estate agent and I have to come up with the money for the classes and classes take place on August 27 and 28th this was my big opportunity for a good career and now it seems impossible. I feel like just when things were starting to look up after being laid off for several months that things are looking so great after all. I'm trying to keep my head. Trying to stay positive for my boys. I really would like to attend the school and get my real estate license but I realize the bills have to come before that. My rent is due immediately along with all my other bills I'm just overwhelmed. I need all this off me for one month to get my schooling on the way get my license for real estate and I know that I can succeed. Please call me. Thank you for your time and any help that you may be able to give us.

What is the issue with your application for disability? Denied, as many cases in Kansas and nationwide area. But there may be other programs that can help, and find disability help in Kansas, which may be transportation, grants, and more.

My fiancé has a few disorders and is trying to get disability from the social security office in Kansas.

My fiancé has a few disorders and is trying to get disability from the social security office in Kansas. In the meantime we were blessed with our first child and are struggling getting a reliable safe auto and getting our small business generating more money. We salvage goods and offer discounted repair services for lower income or people how need to save $. If we could get help with our transportation issues and start making more money on our own then we can finally get a small house and be working towards being property owner.

Are you receiving any unemployment money? If you combine that with your husband's disability that amount can add up. Kansas is also a hot job market, so you should be able to find something as well. But in the meantime, locate resources and read more Kansas assistance programs.

To whom it may concern:
My family and I are in immediate need of assistance. My husband is disabled and receives $715 a month and I am currently unemployed. We have two children in our home, our two sons 12 and 4. Our utility bill is about to be shut off and we are behind on rent. We live in Chanute, Kansas.
