Young single mother needing help

hi all my name is Amanda I am a single mother of two beautiful baby girls, malia 2 and laila 4 months. I was let go from my job last month because they found out I have gotten a new one. I do not start until February 20th and in one month a lot of bills seem to pile up quickly. I have filed for unemployment and have been denied. I am currently lat on my rent, car payment, gas, and water bills ($1800). I am in the stages of eviction and getting utitilites turned off. I have no family and I have turned to all my friends for help but they dont have the means either. I am asking for help so me and my girls will not be out in the cold. Please let me know if you are able to help me. I am willing to pay you back.

I live alone with my 2 dogs in Pass Christian, MS and I am on SSI.  Right now my electricity is past due and I don't have the money to pay it.  It's $450 and I just do not have it.  it's about to be disconnected.  Are there any organizations that will help me with this problem?

I am part of a family of three that is in need of assistance to keep us afloat until we find employment. I have a daughter who is six and is in need of neccessities that we cannot afford. We are currently about three months behind on our bills and are praying for help in any form. No, our story is no different from hundreds of others in the same situation and I pray that things get better for all who are struggling.

Me and my husband are both unemployed. We have two children, one age 3, and one is 4 1/2 months old. We were doing ok until my unemployment compensation ran out, and now we are trying to make it on $118 a week. We cannot pay our bills, even our rent. We are about to be kicked out of our home because we are behind on our rent. We owe $1,100 in rent alone. our electric bill is $180 a month, our water runs $65 a month, and then our groceries and gas to go get the groceries, we just cannot make it. I am in college right now, online, trying to get a degree so I can get a job and provide for my children. Right now me and my husband are not eating so our son can have food. We get to eat a little when we go over to a friend or family members home. But we are not able to eat much as they are struggling as well. We need help, we have to come up with the rent and power bill. our water bill can wait for a little while, but the rent and power and groceries can not. It would be so great if someone could help us. If you can, please contact me in a reply to this post. thank you.

Natural Gas Bill(s)

HI Everyone.....I hope today will be prosperous for everyone on Aidpage.  I would like to share the latest regarding my natural gas bill and how I am handling it. I moved into my house in December. During the cold winter months my natural gas bill was insane.  I kept my house like and ice box because I was afraid of what the bill would be.  My fears proved to be correct. For that matter, I should have stayed toasty warm and "been in an in-home" tropical paradise. Anyway, I am currently 500.00 plus behind in my natural gas bill.  I have noone to help and I am still unemployed.  I have contacted 4 different agencies that assist in paying all or a huge portion of one's natural gas bill so that they will not be without heat, etc.  These calls included Urban Ministries, the Salvation Army, social services, etc. Since I have not lived in my current house a complete six months, in this city, no agency could/can help me.  I am caught between the proverbial "rock and a hard place". My gas has been scheduled for disconnection on 4-7.  After numerous calls with Piedmont Natural Gas, it will still be disconnnected on 4-7 unless I can come up with 251.56. I do not want my natural gas to be turned off because when I am able to pay it I will have to pay a reconnection fee which will only add to the situation.  I am receiving UI, however, it is not enough to cover my rent.  According to the North Carolina Public Utilities Commission, a customer has the right to dispute the termination notice.  First you must call your natural gas company.  My provider happens to be Piedmont Natural Gas (which I have contacted numerous times in the past few weeks). If you cannot make progress there, you can appeal (informally) to the NC Utilities Commission by phone (919)733-9277, appear in person, or by writing the North Carolina Utilities Commission at the following address:

Consumer Services Division Public Staff-North Carolina Utilities Commission

PO Box 29520

Raleigh, NC 27626-0520

I have written and submitted correspondence to the commission to request assistance or guidance in this matter. I am also going to appear in person tomorrow to discuss options.  I will let everyone know the outcome.  I know that this posting is related to North Carolinians but  that is where I live and that is what I know.  I can only assume that most ,if not all states have a commission in which to contact.  Please share if you have engaged in the same or similar scenario.  Stay tuned for the results.

I have three small boys. My oldest two are starting school soon. I am a fulltime college student, my husband works nonstop and we still are struggling. Our bills are always past due, I have so much debt... I worry all the time and I can not enjoy my children. I can not let them enjoy life like they should beable to. My husband has tried so hard to get us through hard times, while our marriage is strong... it's been hard to enjoy each other. I have tried working a fulltime and a parttime job while going to school fulltime and being a fulltime mother. Anything anyone can do to help us out is greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm a 24 year old women recently married to the love of my life and expecting a baby on the way. Here is the thing we are almost 5 months behind on rent.  My husband has a psychological disorder that makes it hard for him to find work, so he hasn't had a job in a long time which means I work as much as I can which isn't that much my work has cut my hours back as of the beginning of the year and we haven't had any money to go towards anything.  We have gone to the Department Of Human Services and to a local business called Capital Area Community Services both were able to help with $500 towards the rent, we also went to church in our area that can help and they gave us $325, Basically I'm $1200 and running out of time I need to know if anyone knows where I could go or if there was someone I can talk too, to get some help with this. Again I'm running out of time cause April's rent is due next Tuesday and at that point I will be over $2000 behind again.

nothings free

Hi, I am a stay-at-home mom with four children (one an infant), a hardworking, fulltime husband, and two months behind bills. The last few months have been extremely difficult with medical bills and emergency money sappers.  We are two months behind on our mortgage and one month behind on our truck, plus miscellaneous bills.  I have been wracking my brain trying to figure some way to bring income, but have been unsuccessful.  I'm at the end of my rope juggling which bills take priority over others.  In the end we are still unable to catch up.  Now my father-in-law is looking to us to help pay for their roof! 

I have learned that you get nothing for free, so I am not asking for free money.  I have over 100 e-books that are hot now, but I have no skill to resell them (I do have resell rights) (I have tried to resell them, but I suck at writing an ads page).  If want a list, please email me. 

Any help will be greatly appreciated, since it will save our home, our bills, and our marriage.

Please help me

I am 25 years old and I've had nothing but problems. I have a long history of Kidney stones and other medical issues along with insomnia, acid reflux, and others. My employment was terminated a week before easter and I've tried to gain employment through other places but my physical health keeps alot of the labor jobs out of my cabailities at this moment. Due to my unemployment my bills have fallen behind and my car, my only means of transportation, was reposessed May 16th. I need a vehicle in order to even consider jobs. I do have interviews scheduled but I have no possible way to get there. I need to get my car back and Insurance on it and I also have fallen behind in my rent and utilities. I need close to $3000 in order to even come close to being caught up. This also includes my college loans that are no longer capable of being in deferment. Please help me.... I never ask for help usually but I have no other options...

Hello,

I am in desperate need of financial assistance. A year ago I had a great job, money and a car. I relocated here to the state of AZ believing I would be able to provide a better life for my family but things have not turned out the way I expected.  I relocated to a small city and I have not been able to find a decent paying job close by. Jobs are over an hour away, pay very little and I have no family here I can count on for help with my two girls.  I am desperate. My car is out for repo, my mortgage is 3 months over due, my utility bills are extremely past due and I have about $32.00 in my bank account. If anyone out there can find it in their heart to assist me please do so. Any money (even any change) you can spare, please donate. I don't know if I will hear from anyone but in hopes that I will be able to get myself and my family thru this hard time is why I am doing this. Thank you in advance for your support.
