Hello. I am not sure if this will help me or not, but I am willing to try anything. My family and I need help desperately! My husband and I both lost our jobs and have been out of work since the last week of Feburary 2007. We have 4 kids and 3 dogs. We have depleted our savings and tried to get help from some of the various social service agencies. My electric bill is very high and expected to be turned off any day now. Our food is scarce and our transportation is now out of date. (Insurance and registation is expired) We live in a very out of the way town of Port Norris, NJ where there is no public transportation and it seems that we are stuck here. I am not sure what to do. I have recieved some food from the local churches and am very grateful for the help. My husband was recently hired at a local clam house here in town which is great, but when filling out his paperwork for hire, we could not find his SS card. We tried to get another one and the SS office, would not accept his ID. They said we had to go to Motor Vehicle and get a new NJ Digital ID then come back and get a duplicate SS card. Well, at the Motor Vehicle office, they would not accept  his birth certificate. So, with no money I need  to get a new Birth Certicicate, so we can get an ID, so we can get a new SS card so my husband can start this new job. In the mean time, the electric company is threating disconnection and I do not know how we will make it without electric. I tried to apply for energy assistance through a tri county community action agency and they told me that without income, they were not able to help me! Could someone help me, please. I am stuck here with nothing and my time is running out. I need money paid on my electric bill, food in my freezer and a job. My four children don't really understand the roadblocks that are in place and I am not sure how or what to explain to them. The oldest is 10, then we have 2 boys 9 and 8 and our baby is 2. The baby is always asking for cookies that I don't have and it is breaking my heart. HELP  PLEASE SOMEONE. We are good people that need help and will do what ever we can to pay back any and all help that we recieve.

We need food, and to pay our house hold bills.
