shut off

Indiana, USA

I am disabled, have been the last 5 years. I'm an adult survivor of child abuse, which has left me with long lasting health problems.

Because of a paperwork mix up, I've lost my insurance and my disability has been cut. My phone and electric are due to be shut off. I'm trying to raise the $200 I need to keep them on.

On top of everything else, a dear friend of mine has passed away. Because she has no other family but me, I've been making her arrangements. The funeral isn't paid for yet, we're about $135 short on that.

I'm not sleeping or eating. And I can't go to the doctor (it'll take months to straighten all this out), which means I'm now off my medications. Things are a mess.

 I'll take all the prayers or positive energy I can get.

Desparetly Need help with electric bill

Hello, (Updated no longer need help,please read!)

I am posting this today to see if we can get help with our electric bill. I recieved notice yesterday that if it's not paid by the 23rd of April they are going to shut it off. We have 3 children and my husband has been down with his hip not able to do much. I am on disablity and only draw $550 a month. Our electric bill is $498. I have gotten all of my other bills paid for and was hoping that our electric bill would drop thismonth but with this cold snap we have gotten and a faulty switch on the heater that stopped it from turning off, we got hit with a huge bill. Any help would be greatly appricated and I will return it as soon as I am able, promise. I will also send copies of the bill and where payment has been made to you so you'll know that is what it went for. I wouldn't lie about this, I don't know what we'll do with out electricity. I am trying to sell somethings around the house to help us come up with the money to help pay for it. I thought we would have more time to come up with the money.  We are in desparete need, so if you can help, I promise to pay you back  some how.  God Bless! 

The Lord works in mysterious ways!! A few hours after posting this I found out I won a contest I entered last year. The prize money is more than enough to cover my electric bill. My electric company is going to work with me until the prize money comes in. Thank you Lord! And thank you everyone for your prayers!

 

 

Electricity due to be shut off today or Monday morning

Please if anyone can help me please do.I probably will have my lights shut off either today or Monday morning.now don't get me wrong I have a job it's just that I don't get paid until the 8th,and even then I won't have enough to pay my central hudson bill.Please anyone that can help me please do I'm in desperate need of at least 600.00.I'm a single mother of two and need my electricity.I went to social services but was denied cause I was over the income limit,so I'm stuck.Anyone that wants to help me please be serious,cause I was almost scammed into cashing a check for 4,500 for some guy who wanted to help me,but it just didn't sound right why should I have to cash a check and take 1,000 for myself and then send the rest to charity/orphanage,why couldn't he send it to them himself,so I never cashed it I had it checked out and it was a fake,I then gave it over to the authorities,so anyone that says they want to help me only if they can send a check I won't accept it,please use my paypal or another legal way to help me.I'm a very honest,caring,and appreciative person.I would never take anyone for granted.I believe people would be more willing to help one another if a simple thing called consideration was put into play,so to anyone who decides to help me let me start now by say thank you

this is me and four of my five children. Please if you can help us it would be greatly appreciated. We are in desperate NEED of good heated people.
Please Help Family of 4 with bills

Hello.  First of all, we are an average family, who just needs a little extra help right now. I'm not going to make up some elaborate story that didn't really happen. My husband and I have 2 kids and we just need some help paying this month's bills. We aren't asking for the world, just enough to help keep us afloat.
The reason we are looking for some extra help is because my husband just switched jobs He did this to be closer to home (to spend more time with his family) This will also help us save money on gas (he worked 1 hour away from our home, now he is 15 minutes away). Unfortunately, he works on commission, so we have NO money yet this month. He is very discouraged and stressed that he is not able to provide enough for our family this month. I would love to lift some of this stress from his shoulders. I stay at home with our 2 kids, because it would COST us money for me to work (to pay for childcare). I am currently working my way towards my teaching degree. Any amount would be a GREAT help.
WE are already 2 months behind on our car, power and sewer bills.

However, Our Water is ready to be shut off, need $125 to pay it off. (this is most important)

Of course, EASTER is coming up and i have 2 young children who still believe in the Easter Bunny, and I'd like to NOT disappoint them. I know I could make them both happy on Eater morning for probably no more than $30.
AGain, we are not asking for a lot. Most importanty we need to pay our water bill, we don't want to STINK from not being able to bathe! Also, I would like to make a happy Easter for our 2 kids. While I know that Easter is not about what kind of basket you wake up to, remember, as a child, it is a large part of it!Thank you so much for any help!

Not sure I'll make it

am disabled, have been the last 5 years. I'm an adult survivor of child abuse, which has left me with long lasting health problems.

Because of a paperwork mix up, I've lost my insurance and my disability has been cut. My phone and electric are due to be shut off. I'm trying to raise the $200 I need to keep them on.

On top of everything else, a dear friend of mine has passed away. Because she has no other family but me, I've been making her arrangements. The funeral isn't paid for yet, we're about $135 short on that. I've been trying to sell anything I can, Kathy deserves so much better than she's getting.

I'm not sleeping or eating. And I can't go to the doctor (it'll take months to straighten all this out), which means I'm now off my medications. Things are a mess.

I'll take all the prayers or positive energy I can get.

Looking for a little help

Hello,

  My name is Jason. I have 5 children and wife whom I support with my FT job. We make enough to go week to week but sometimes when things come up it is hard to get back on my budget. This is one of those times, so I am asking if anyone could lend me a hand. All I am asking is if you can spare $1,$5,$10 whatever you can help me with would be more helpful then you could imagine. Last month I had to pay my utilty company extra to avoid a shut off because I was behind with them. So now I am trying to come up with money to pay the other bills that I had to skip so we would have electricity. So if you can please help me out with a few dollars and I promise you it will be used accordingly. You can either contact me by email( jericny@aol.com ) or I do have a paypal account using the same email that you put a donation in. Thank You for taking time to read this.
