Hello and good morning. My name is Zandrea and I’m looking for some assistance with my rent and utilities! Right now I’m not working due to health issues and has fallen behind. My address is Kirkwood, MO 63122 which is in Saint Louis County. If there’s anything you can do for assistance will be greatly appreciated!

I am in really terrible financial shape. I have medical bills, credit card debt, behind on my mortgage, behind on HOA dues with the threat of foreclosure from the HOA Board and their Property management company..even after i paid them $15,000 for back dues and a sewer pipe repair under my slab in January 2021. They will not give me any leeway on paying the $1606 I am currently behind on, they are playing HARD BALL....finishing a bankruptcy, owe a lot in taxes, am behind on filing my 2019 and 2020 taxes. I am behind on personal property taxes to the city of Saint Louis for my car, will need to pay for inspection and registration in Oct 2021, late on Driver's License renewal (just forgot), and have little money for food and required medication.
Have a case worker, case worker supervisor, therapist and Psychiatrist, as I have several diagnosed mental health illnesses...all in the name of helping me....and my current mental health state is being closely monitored....
But every organization in Saint Louis that has been contacted tells my Case Worker and I that they cannot help me with anything because I make too much from my Disability Pension (I was a SPED Teacher in MO for over 20 years) or of course I do not make enough to pay all of my bills....
I had an inheritance from a family member that allowed me to pay those aforementioned expenses, however that money is now gone.
I do not have any family in Saint Louis, my Father passed away in April of 2016, and four days after his funeral, my mother and siblings "disowned" me, I have had not contact with them since. I do not have friends either.
I do not have a working furnace, AC or hot water heater. My refrigerator, dishwasher, washer and dryer are all not working or have been damaged by the repeated sewer back ups that flooded my basement, which also destroyed all of my personal items that were not stored in plastic bins.
I live in Lake St Louis, St Charles County, Missouri, 63367.
We have contacted 2-1-1, with no organizations that could help in Saint Louis. We tried Community Entry, could not help because I made approximately $2000 over their poverty qualifying income. They did suggest church groups, but they do not have resources that can replace my water heater or AC which are not working due to age and inappropriate care, prior to my purchase of the house...I believe it was a poorly done flip, when I bought it...
So ANYTHING, that you may know of that my team has not thought of, or anything else, I would be grateful to learn about.
Thank you for your time.

Yes, $600 a month for a 3 bedroom is cheap! St. Louis tends to be more affordable then the coastal cities. But still. As far as resources for you, there may be some. find rent help in St. Louis. There are dozens of agencies in the region that may support you and your loved ones. Good luck, and sorry to hear about the separation.

I don't know of any place we can move that is as cheap as we pay now ($600/month for 3 bed, 2 bath), and my landlord agreed not to raise my rent. But I can barely afford it.

I am currently living month to month on disability. I am a single mom with two minor children and am on disability. We are struggling, badly. I applied for Food and Nutrition Benefits, and only was allowed $113/month for the 3 of us. Now, I'm looking a way to aid in paying my rent each month so we do not end up homeless.

Same with the electric bills. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Requesting assistance with my rent. My daughter had recent skull replacement surgery and had both of her hips broke and repaired. Between the time off for my daughters care, the medical and medication expenses for 2 of my children and recently being terminated by my employer I have fallen behind on my rent which is $640 / more and I am behind 2 months.
I’m concerned with being evicted if I don't pay this immediately. I have no money at this time to pay this expense as well as for my son’s medication, food, utilities. I am strenuously seeking employment at this time and have yet to receive calls back from employers. I used the children's Christmas gift money to pay the electricity so it would not be disconnected. I do not know if this is even the right place for this in St. Louis as I have never requested assistance that I needed immediately before. Thank you for taking the time to ready this and God bless.
