Hi Kimberly and all,
Since there are 3 messages all of the same city/area, try this for financial help in the Lakeland FL area, which also covers all of Polk County. As there are many organizations that may help.

My name is Kimberly and I'm desperately needing assistance with my bills and maybe getting put on section 8 for a home in Lakeland. I have 2 small kids ages 4 and 7 and a single parent. I'm currently out of work due to transportation for my children to and from school. My bills are piling up and I don't know which way to turn. I have put in over 400 apps through indeed looking for a job that will allow me the hours during school time due to no help with my kids. My light bill was due weeks ago and I had it extended until the 23rd and still nothing has come through as far as a job. My kids’ father does pay 90 a week for child support but that is not paying the expenses. Please lead me in the right direction as to where I need to go to get financial help as soon as possible! Thank you so much for your time!

Hello my name is Cassandra from Lakeland Florida and I am a single mother of a 10 year old boy. I have been sick and recently had surgery and am in the process of having more. I was also just diagnosed with cancer and I have not been able to get back to work. We currently are 2 months behind on rent and have no one that will help us. If you guys can help us to stay in our home we would be very grateful.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Cassandra

Hello, I'm a current resident of Lakeland Polk County, FL. I'm currently struggling to pay this month's rent and utilities due my minor child testing positive with Covid. So I had to miss work to help care for him as he got really sick. I'm a single mother trying to make ends meet as it is. He has been quarantine from school for a few days, as well as myself from work for 10 days. I do plan to return to work by end of next week. If there is any assistance or additional information or resources that could help me, t would be greatly appreciated. Contact information is Tiffany.
