Get help with paying bills or free stuff.

I need help, my electric bill is overdue and I got a cutoff notice for the 1st of October.. it's 464.00 ! I called the electric co
and tried to work out a payment plan, they wouldn't help me!! don't know what do to, I'm a single Mom with 2 kids and don't have anyone that can help me!! I don't understand why they can't work with you, just alittle bit!! I think something needs to be done about this. I try to pay all my bills, and it's hard, but I do it. But in August, there was School starting and my Son's birthday, and I have no help, and I got behind. I work full time, it's not like I just sit at home and do nothing, I'm just sick because I don't know what to do or where to turn, I only have one week to figure something out!! Can anyone give me some suggestions or something>??? I'VE NEVER had to ask for help before, and don't enjoy it now, but I don't know what else to do

Who is your power company, and/or what state do you live in? There are numerous programs for utility bills so you do not get disconnected.

Good Morning –

My boyfriend’s daughter is 24 years old with a 4 year old baby girl.

She is on a fixed income and is a single mother who lives in Eastlake, Ohio.

She needs help with her electric bill.

Any assistance that could be provided, would be greatly appreciated.

Eastlake Ohio does offer the state's version of LIHEAP. If it is a crisis for electric bills, the dughter can try that program. Sometimes grants are paid out within 24 hours. Read more.
