Greetngs In The Name Of Our Lord and Savior,

I am writting hoping to recieve a reply of help from my family
in christ. Recently I lost my job since then I have been seeking
work, but as of yet have not found anything, my unemployment will
end in October.

Currently I am living with my 12 year old son and we are without
electric because of lack of funds also My rent is past due because
I have been on a limited income, my car note is due and I am currently
trying to better myself by going to school so that I can change my life.

I am really being attacked by satan but I know that God is Able to Do
All Things, if you can do anything to help my I would truly appreciate
it.

Your Brother In Christ,
Maurice

I am a mother of two children. I have been struggling to pay my bills for what seems like as long as I’ve been on my own.. since 16. I’ve been applying to jobs for the last 4 months. I’ve been working odd jobs such as babysitting, cleaning, and running errands just to get by. My rent is $200 a week and basically my electric company has sent me a cut off notice due july 8. which seems like a while.. but when you pay out 200 a week and social services is basically giving me the run around. my elec bill is $418.29 — any help of resources would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Rental Assistance

My name is LaShonda Wright and I have been having a problem paying my rent for almost 3 months now and I’m asking you individually or as an agency to help my children and I with this past amount. This is not a scam (as some people sometimes think) this is a real cry for help coming from a real single parent who is in desperate need.
My story is that in the past I’ve ask for help in the Nashville, TN area with all my high price bills. I realize that I’m not the only one in need of financial help and that I need to find a full time job and I do understand but my answer to that is that I’m trying daily at the Maximus (Tennnessee Works) location and in the streets (individually) to look for a job but I just haven’t been successful yet and its actually getting frustrating!
So because I lost my last job (Mrs. Winners) I’ve become behind on all my bills! Some have been disconnected, some I actually found somebody to help me with but most have just remained off and the children and I have just dealt with it. Unlike a lot of people it just seems like I have to pay every utility company in Nashville, TN and it’s very, very, very, hard! My house is cold because the Gas is disconnected due to nonpayment and it cost around $400.00 to get the service back on! The Light bill is caught right now, the Phone is on this month but could be cut off next month! The Water bill is past due ($80.00) and may also be disconnected than we want be able to take baths, was the dishes, flush the toilets, brush our teeth or anything. The children’s father want help out but makes sure that he has all his utilities paid while we suffer! ! ! But the main bill in need of paying ASAP is the RENT! We need shelter during these cold, cold months and any other time as well but my rent is so high that I’ve almost given up and have begin the process of moving/packing once again. But can you believe it after almost 3 months I finally talk to my Landlord (on October 29, 2008) and he has agreed to let me stay in my house as long as I can at least pay him 1 month rent ($725) and pay the other in installments! Thank You Lord! I couldn’t believe it when I heard the news because my previous landlord and his wife would call me on the 6th day of my rent being late demanding the rent money or he would sell the house and then I would be out on the streets! But my new landlord Mr. Green has a heart and is willing to give me a chance to catch up on my rent which is already past due $725.00 for September plus a $72.50 late fee, $725.00 for October plus a $72.50 late fee, and due again on November 1, 2008 in the amount of $725.00 plus a $72.50 late fee because I want have all of it by the 5th of the month but Thank God for second chances! My whole total due is $2,392.50.
So once again I’m coming to whoever can assist me and my children with at least the September rent of $725.00. I know you can’t pay the whole thing and I can’t either but $20, $50, $100, $150, $200 or whatever can always add up to the $725.00. If I can get different individuals or agencies to help my family this will prevent us from being evicted and possibly living in the streets during this winter season. Please Help Us this time.

Sincerely, Humbly, and Respectfully,

LaShonda Wright and Her Children
P.O. Box 60264, Nashville, TN 37206-0264 615-569-0964

I need help paying for my utilities, I am past due $736.04. Any resources or donation will help. Please email me if you need more detailed info.

I’ve tried HEAP and Reach, but I apparently do not qualify, I don’t see why. There shouldn’t be any requirements if anyone honestly needs help.

Please, anything helps. I am honestly running out of hope.
