[QUOTE="mistmouse, post: 32996, member: 289"] Thanks livinginazoo if the response was to my plight. I am in a small rural town and we have no consignment shops. As for help from community organizations, no help there. Three times now I have asked for help from every organization in order to keep my utilities turned on, and there was no help. The way they work here is to take your information and then call around to churches in the area to see if they can help pay a bill, but if you are on a disconnect notice then there isn't time for that to happen. The only help I have had on that was the annual LIHEAP. As for my own church, they are still paying off the shingles they bought on credit to redo half my roof that was leaking severely. I had a ceiling about to fall in and not enough buckets to catch the leaks. Also, when a neighborhood vandal/thief decided to start a fire in my car my church paid for the new windshield I needed. My brother did all the other cleanup work so I would have my car. I am lucky that the doors close instead of standing open so that when the vandal put the cardboard box in my driver's seat and lit it that the door shut so the fire didn't get enough oxygen to gut my car or worse. So, I have exhausted any help from my church, and the other help would be long past Easter if it did result in any help. It will be okay. She is 12, and life isn't fair, so she is finding that out earlier than I might have liked. Thanks for the suggestions and for thinking of us. mistmouse [/QUOTE]
