The church limits how many people that help weekly

Mother recovering from stroke, lives with me now. I no longer work in order to care for her right now. Rent is due today, will not have near enough left to pay on utilities.
I have to buy necessary items such as wipes, laundry soaps, toiletries, items not covered by DHS or the church. I have gotten food stamps, which helps on food, but only income is my mother's SSI right now. I went to Neighbor to Neighbor and they were supposed to pay $50 on the electric bill and to date that has not been applied.
I can only receive help from them once a year, the heating & cooling program through DHS is out of funds, and I have an application in with Catholic Charities but have heard nothing yet. I have been to Helping Hands Ministry only to wait then funds have been depleted, have tried First Baptist Church of Tulsa but they require appointment and only help 20 per week.
I am not always able to find someone to come sit with my mother while I try to get help. I am starting to panic a little as I cannot seem to get any help & utilities are coming due, a few I have made payment arrangements with but if I break these, bill must be paid in full. Please, I am in dire need of some assistance from a church or charty. Thank you so much.
