I do not want to post this but I do not know where else to turn. I have called and applied for assistance with every agency and church I could find. We have a cut off notice for our electric and do not know how we are going to pay it. My husband works everyday but has been given a pay cut, he is currently looking and applying for other companies. I myself have bilateral upper lobe pulmonary nodules that are indicative for metastatic tumor(undergoing testing for this), Aden carcinoma (colorectal cancer)(should be in remission, waiting for oncology report), Severe hypothyroidism, Hypertension, Spondylosis (spinal osteoarthritis) and Diabetes, all can be proven by my doctor. Please if anyone can help I can provide any needed information. We need up to $400 for the electric. The bill has gone down due to some repairs and replacements but this is from last month. We had found out that our thermostat was broke and that has been replaced, this was the cause of or high bill. I am trying to be brutally honest here. We can pay $100 to the bill but that is leaving us without food for next week, we will not be having Easter in our home either but that is the least of our worries. Is there an angel or hero that can help. I know we are all struggling with the way prices are so I understand if no help can come to us. I have tried selling things but it has not worked out, I am currently trying to sell my garden tiller for this bill, this means no garden this year. Thank you for reading this. Happy Easter.
