Hi Kristin,
What state? Regardless that is not much time. Probably your only option is crisis LIHEAP, which has an accelerated application process. But even that program often lacks funding and takes time as they need proof of income, copies of bills, etc. More info is here.

Hi, I just recently lost my job and found out I was pregnant. Today is Tuesday May, 19 2016. My gas bill is past due and was shut off today. It is 499.92, which seems a little high, I think there is a leak but nothing can be done until my bill is paid. Please I have never asked for help like this before.

Try the LIHEAP program in Mississippi for paying your gas bill. But there is nothing to prevent you from making repairs to the line right now. Call a contractor to look at it, and work with a local church to see if they have volunteers for it. There are many listed here. http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... ather.html
