My Purpose
We struggle,just like everyone else, but we raise our kids to be good people and to give and love no matter how rich or poor we are. I am here to get a little help when it is needed, and to give back, when I am able to do so. I am raising money to help cover our bills while we are having a hard time.

The Cooper Family's Request
 
I got a shut off notice!!! Please Help!!
No ImagesNo ImagesNo Images
Description: We fell behind because my husband has been ill. The rent is not paid, nor is the utility bills. everything is getting shut off. The problem is, my daughter has to use an inhaler and can not take the heat if our electric gets shut off. I made a payment arrangement with Ameren, but it is past due and they are going to want the whole amount. Please, I called IHEAP and salvation army, neither one gives utility assistance for the summer until July. They gave us our shut off notice, they want over $800 to keep us on. I made the request for $1000, because that would include the new bill as well. anything helps. Thank you so much to all who are kind enough to help us.
Category: Human Services, Financial Assistance
Why? The potential long term impact..
Keeping the electric on will keep my daughter from having Asma attacks.help Keeping a roof over my children's head is very important. Once we can get back on our feet, we will be able to take care of ourselves again.

Many here on MG do not have scanners, what most seem to be doing is either taking a photo of their docs if they have a digi or cell cam and uploading that, or getting them scanned at places like Walmart or Kinkos. As for denial letters, you might not get them in the mail based on phone inquiry. I was thinking maybe a church or local agency could give you a statement though if they know you are trying to receive donations. It was a thought...sorry, I don't really know how else to help.

I was just thinking, if you are getting the bill off the website you might have access to the final bill they sent after disconnection, that would show your power is disconnected and you were issued a final bill.

Fund Raising for basic needs is so hard. I hope you find the help you need. I understand the situation as I have been without power/water before for quite a while and there was no hope of getting it turned back on unless we could somehow hold out from August till Feb when income tax return would have paid off the balance. We lost the home and land before the income tax though. Keep reaching out and try to get any kind of documentation you can. Have you tried Modest Needs?

I don't have access to a scanner, the bill I have is uploaded from the electric company's website. As for local agencies, there are no denial letters, just a "we don't have any funding" when i ask. I've even tried churches.

You may get more help if upload a statement verifying you are indeed disconnected, and a few denial notices from local agencies. Your power company should be able to give you a statement. Have you been able to check with Social Services about possible local programs?
