utility bill help

financial assistance to catch up on bills, medicine for husband, general everyday living expenses

             

              Hello,

  My name is Amy and I'm desperate. I'll just have to be frank. I'm at my wits end!!  I can't pay my bills,  I don't own any assets to cover a loan.  In fact,  my mom in law is letting us use her truck so that I can get to work-now someone has vandelized it.  They punctured my tire.

I work for Baylor Hospital in Irving as a nurse aid. I make 9.87 per hour.  I had to go part time because they couldn't use me for 16 hour shifts on the weekend so that I could attend school.(I hope to be a nurse-God willing)  Well, I droped my classes because my husband requires much of my attention, which brings me to him.  He is disabled, BUT Uncle Sam doesnt agree even though we have letters from Physicians staing that he can not work.  His meds are about $400.00 per month, and that's not including his doctor's appointments(when we're able to go)  I'm suffering from sever panic attacks and depression and Ihaving a really difficult time finding a second job.. My rent is due in one week 585.00, an electric bill (2 monthes worth, $468.00), Erik's doctors appt is on the 26th of Sept. One of the medicines prescribed is not covered by my insurance plan-that's $40.00 FOR DOC and $150.00 for 2 prescriptions.  Well, I do know that God will always take care of my needs!! Thank you!

Hello to all the wonderful people who read and help people like us who have has some unexpected thing happen,and we fell behing,livint from pay check to pay check. I am thanakful because i have gotton help fron the Cancer institute over the last two years. I am a disabled grandmother,I took custody of my only grandson who was in a drug house,he got Leukemia three months later and we travel 300 miles both ways for treatment,so I know how hard it is when things hit. I am behind on all utilities and one house payment behind. My grandson has been fighting for over two years,Leukemia all,we are almost done with chemo,but have another year of trips,I need car repair . I have imfo to prove all i have said. Father dont pay on time and so I am behind,catching up is hard. Any one who wants to talk or help is greatly appreciated. Blessings, Fran
Not a Sob Stroy
I really do not know how to ask for help. I sound mean and ungrateful when I do ask, even though I am not. So right to the point My husband and I are about to be on the streets, we are goin gto lose everything even our kids. My husband works hard and I am unable to work. We have fallin behind on everything and are on our way to the streets. Mind you if it was just us and no kids we would not ask for any help. We have gone to all the places that offer assitance and we do not quilify for any. We have asked our familys for help and they told us no also. We do not spend money on things that we dont need. We buy food, pay rent, pay the bills and put gas in the car. We do not buy new clothes, have cable nor do we do drugs/alcohole. Prime example of falling through the cracks. We do need the help to just get on our feet. We would even work for the help. We can do Landscaping and small repairs on cars/trucks. Belive me when I tell you we have tried for all the "help" and have been denided. If we end up in a shelter in this county we will lose our kids. I have seen it done to meny times. Any thought that might help please let me know. Thank You for reading this, Angela
THATS WHY THEY CALL ME KAREBEAR!!!!

I AM A CARETAKER IN LONG BEACH CALIFORNIA. I HAVE BEEN TAKING CARE OF MY GRANDMOTHER FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS.  SHE HAD SEVERAL STROKES AND WAS BED RIDDEN. NOW, SHE WALKS WITH HER WALKER AND CAN DRESS HERSELF. BEING A CARETAKER IS NOT A JOB EVERYONE CAN DO. IT IS VERY HARD ON YOUR BODY, YOUR MIND AND YOUR POCKET. IM 32 AND HAVE TO LIVE WITH MY MOM/GRANDMOTHER BECAUSE I BARELY MAKE ENOUGH TO SURVIVE. IN HOME SUPPORT SERVICES OF LA COUNTY IS WHAT WE GO THROUGH. MY GRANDMOTHER NOW HAS TO TAKE A LARGE PORTION OF HER MONTHLY CHECK TO PAY ME, AND I THINK IT SUCKS.  I AM WILLING TO WORK FOR ANYONE WHO NEEDS HELP. IM OUTGOING, FUN, AND EASY TO GET USED TO.

We need help before we lose everything including eachother and our kids. Please Help us with by giveing us a hand up. Thanks for reading this. Angela

Hello my name is Sherrie,I have 2 daughters ages 3&5 and my husband is in really bad shape,he had to have an ACDF fusion in his neck and since the surgery he has declined in health so badly.I have to help him out of bed most mornings and if he needs to use the restroom in the middle of the night I definately have to help him then.I don't work because I am scared of leaving him home alone with our youngest in case something happens.We have had numberous MRI's done and they say there is nothing wrong with him.I say they are crazy because this man went from working 55-70hrs. a week at a job he had held for 21yrs. yes that's 21years.We applied for ss disability and he was denided they said he could do some kind of job.There is no way he can't sit,stand,or lie down long at all because he goes numb all over.We do get food stamps and that is a plus but paying our bills and buying househould necessities that is a joke.We have no money for anything.I thank God for my father because he has helped us so much but there is only so much he can do because he is VA disabled and on social security.I just want to know why we pay taxes so much and when you get down they just kick you a little harder?I cannot find anyone that will help me with anything but electric and water but I need a phone in case something happens to my husband and his parents are 79&82 and if there is problem with them we need to be able to get ahold of.I Just think that the whole system stinks for people that need help that has worked there whole life.Thank you for letting me vent my frustrations,because I hold so much in so my children don't have to hear that mommy&daddy are having such a hard time.Sincerely a mother that truly undewrstands what each of you are going through.Sherrie, Somerset,KY

I had Medicaid but I received $$ above what my allowance permitted, now I have no insurance and it is hard to pay my bills, auto insurance etc. I would love to drive people around for cash. I am in need of assistance. Please I am humble and I am willing to do whatever I can as long as it's legal.
