Family Needs Help- Utility Bills

[sannice1979]

I've been chatting with another FOL'er that really needs some help right now. Her husband lost his job 6 months ago and they have gone through their savings. Unemployment is not enough to cover everything of course. She just had a baby so she can't go back to work for a few weeks. They have no family to help and are really scared. They have secured help with food and are working something out with their mortgage company but need immediate help with utilities. They have already been extended and will be cut off Saturday if payment is not received tomorrow. They only have water and electricity (gas included in electric) which add up to less than $500 due now. If anyone can help please message me.

**I'm also seeing if they need anything else such as clothing, diapers, etc... will update if they do. **

Have they contacted Frisco Family Services? Aren't there aid services through the county they live in? I'm so sorry they are in this situation. I would help if I could.

Yes, they are getting other help from Frisco Family Services. Someone just took care of the water so now they only need electric covered. I've pitched in all I can. Hopefully others can help, anything at all makes a difference!

ETA- The husband also was offered a job today so things are looking up! Just need this immediate help.

Three of you have brought tears of joy to not only me but the family in need. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

I'm waiting on a reply to find out which kind of formula the baby needs and I will reply to those who have asked about those things.

I have an unopened pretty large sample can of similac advanced powder that I would love to pitch in if they need it. I've been praying it would find someone who really needed it.

Hi everyone, thanks to all of you for pitching in back in July and helping this family out! They are in need of some immediate help with their vehicle. Hoping to get it taken care of for them today so that the husband can get to work. Right now the immediate need is $250- $300 as I have already came up with the rest of the amount needed. If you are interested in helping out please PM me or text me at 214 two eight nine 5064. Thanks!

Can you post what the issue is with the car? We have some great mechanics on here that may be able to help if the parts are covered.

[sannice1979]

It's not mechanical. The vehicle was repossessed.

Six months and still no job? Bills unpaid, unemployment running out? Solution- start asking people for money.

BTW, our family is short on cash this month, could you rich folks that managed your lives please send me some of your easily gotten cash? We are good people and deserve it here. Think of my kids! In another six months, I might be able to find a job to replace that cush management job I had, since I'm not willing to take anything less. Just carry me for a little while longer?

Hate to be cynical, but pan-handling has never sat well with me, no matter what kind of lipstick you put on it.....

[sannice1979]

What are you talking about? Read the first post in July. The husband now has a job. The mother was home with a new baby.

I'm being nice and HELPING them. They are not begging for money. Hope you never end up in the same situation. But if you do let me know and I will HELP you too. That's just who I am.
