Almost Every new poster  starts out asking that, and the answers are quite mean usually. I'm poor too and know it's hard. Churches have helped me best when I was desperate. Good Luck. I'll pray for you okay buddy?

http://www.liheap.ncat.org\n\nThey provide help with paying high utility bills for low income families. Just type in your state in the search bar on the left.\n\nThe local Dept. of Human Services. Maybe they can help with getting food stamps or some other assistance. \nAlso, there's some charities that might help, Catholic Charities, United Way, and The Red Cross. In my town, the local Baptist Association helps people out with money or clothes. If I think of more I'll add them later.

There are social services available. Look in the phone book.  Make a few calls. You should be able to get food stamps and other services and moneys to pay at least some bills, like utilities.\nLook for a community help line. They are set up to help people find the services they need.  All too often people wait to call until the situation is in crisis and that could be avoided or lessened if they had just taken the initiative to call sooner.  I do not mean to sound cold, I do care, I just want you to get the phone book out now and have the other adult make some of the calls for you.\nThere may even be some special needs charities.\nIt varies by location. Here we have a group that is just for coordinating all the charity services available and helping people file for help.\nGood luck as you pursue things.

Do you go to church?  Most Church's will take up money for people who are in situations like yours.  The questions is; how did you get yourself into such a fix, or are you really in a fix.  I see people standing on the street with signs that say "will work for food" and they walk around the corner and drive off in their Mercedes.  If you are truly in this kind of a jam, then someone will help you, but you are on a computer, on the Internet, asking for money, and I don't think this will get you anywhere since no one is going to believe you.  I don't believe you, and I'm not above helping anyone, but you just don't seem poor to me.  Go talk to a minister, and if they feel like you are sincere in your needs, they will help you, if not no one will on here.  Good Luck!!!

If in Alabama, try Disabled Veterans of America/Alabama(?).\nThey give away small household items (ex. kitchen shears) for donations.

dont just sit and wait for someone to help you, ive been in that situation. call your local housing authority for help. they can help you find a place, and will covor alot of costs, until you recover enough to get permanent employment. the government HAS to help you. there are lots of ways to get help for this, and you just took a right step.

Call your local united way referral number.  Instead of calling half a dozen charities and agencies, the United Way has a list of what groups can help and in what way.  They'll refer you to the agency that can help you best.  Good luck.

Contact th Social Security to check into SSI and the county or state welfare agencies for emergency aid.  They also can help with food stamps, medical care and possibly housing.   If the person is a vet, contact the Veterans Administration to see if they may qualify for any benifits.  State and Federal legislators can often help you sort through benifit programs also.  Good Luck!

Sorry for your situation.  Try a shelter temporarily and the shelter will probably have some additional resources for you for the long term.  I also like the idea of getting welfare until you can get yourself back on your feet.

I know that the Salvation Army helps with some utilities, you might want to give your local office a call.
