Hi I am looking for someone to help out with my utilities i just had my water shut off and in a few days my electric will be shut off, To tell you alittle about whats going on, I n the middle of june my wife fell and broke her leg at a youthgroup function,they did surgery and put a pin in her leg from her hip to her knee, I took a leave of absence from work to stay home and take care of her and our 5 children, not having any insurance we werent able to get the care that she needs, During my leave of absence I was laid off for the reason of a lack of work due to a reduced workload.   I have filed for unemployment benefits and I am still awiating responce for eligitably. I have been searching for work and not having much luck.

We have exhausted what funds we had on the bills and gas for taking my wife to her Dr. appointments and some of my work shearchs, and now are no longer able to keep up with all the remaining bills or get school clothes for the kids to start school with, we have recieved assistance with food so that is not an issue at this time. I know how hard it is when people need help and I have helped others in the past when i was able to do so as we have been there before and now in these unfortunate times are again.

We hope and pray that anyone willing to help out will, We thank you and apreciate your help

Where was this function? Why haven't the youth group, or the facility where the function was held, paid for her medical expenses? That is why they carry insurance.

It sounds to me like you were laid off based on your absence... contact the EEOC and file a complaint. Technically, your absence should have been covered by FMLA - and you should have been notified of that by your employer. 

In the mean time apply for social services 

contact your utility companies - if you haven't done so already - and explain your situation - most utility companies have programs to assist low income families. 

also contact united way, salvation army, st vincent de paul, catholic charities, red cross and other nonprofits in your area for additional assistance . .. if they cannot help you, ask them who can... I have all their links on my national page 

also check with 211 in your area for more assistance
