I am in Polk County Florida. My husband is currently working, unfortunately he doesn't get paid enough. I am currently pregnant and we have two kids. We are about to have our utilities cut off because we can not afford to pay the bill. If you can guide me to any orginaztions that may be able to help I would greatly appreatiate it.

Who is your utility or gas company, and what state? The programs available vary by state and energy company. I need more information.
