I need help with my rent and my electric bill. I am current on rent but not making enough this month at my job to pay my July rent. I have no phone to call anyone only email. I also need to get help with my electric bill. I have been paying monthly but not getting caught up and now the will be disconnecting it as of the 6th of August. I have a daughter and pets and cannot have my power turned off or be evicted or I will lose all of them.

Good afternoon, I am writing from Broward County, Florida. I lost my job last month and am struggling with August utilities among other expenses. I am in the process of trying to secure a new position, but this has taken longer than I have hoped. I applied for unemployment benefits, but that can take long to process and I am concerned about my next month rent/expenses. I have been working since I was sixteen and never have been unemployed or in this position. Even after unemployment processes, The maximum benefit will be 275 a week which won't even cover the new utilities, not August, alone.
