and suggesting you go to DUer OneGrassRoot's Wishadoo web site. I think you will find some practical help there.

Can you apply for government assistance with the utility bills?
Also remember that there are many kind, compassionate DU members who help one another out - regardless of how they rip each others' throats out in General Discussion. We are here for one another. We will listen and try to help if we can.
I've been in bad shape myself in recent months - unemployment, etc., and often feel like I have no friends. I think people everywhere are struggling to stay above water, and have run out of energy to reach out to one another. I have found amazing reassurance here at DU.
Please keep in touch and let me know how things are going.
