I need help paying my monthly bills

cookie105 started this conversation
Oct 30, 2006

I am a widow with an 18 year old son who will be leaving next month for JOB CORP to study for his GED and the Welding program in upstate New York.  I recieve $626.00 amonth from SSI, $120.00 a month from Public Assistance and we get about $80.00 a month in Food Stamps.  My rent Is $1,175.00 a month and the Section 8 program sends my landlord $926.00 a month towards my rent. My monthly bills are more than I can afford to pay and I need help with paying my bills.  I am in the VESID program and hope to be able to go back to work in about a year.  In the meantime I can't afford to pay my bills.  I do not owe any money to any credit cards and such but just paying for rent, utilities, public transportation, food, and clothing is becoming impossible.  Please help me.

I am so sorry your having it rough!! I too am at the end trying for help, My mom just passed away and she was half my income, and now i have no job .added bills cuz of the funeral, i cant even get my meds, i am bipolar/major depressive. i have search everyewhere for help, and thers always a catch in why they cant help me. seems as though they want you in the gutter before they will help. so there goes the theory of you gotta help yourself first, i ahve been trying but something you cant do alone. i am 800 away from ending a bankruptcy that i cant pay for so its gonna get dismissed. i cant get any loans becuz i have a bankruptcy. i sure hope someone comes to your rescue, i will pray ...
