First let me explain our situation. I am a single mom of 2 kids, I hold recently be put out of work for a herniated disc in my spinal column. Our gas is due to be shut off tomorrow. It have been getting colder where on earth we live(below freezing at night). I am looking for a way to temporarily warmness part of the house until I can come up near some money somehow to get it turned spinal column on. We cannot use the stove since it is gas as well. I merely want to keep my kids thaw. Any ideas that don't cost any upfront money would be advantageous since we don't have a dime to our name. Oh yeah, welfare isn't an option, I've already be down there and hold to wait for an answer that could transport up to a month.
Answers:    Talk with the gas company. Utility companies typically own programs established for people that cannot afford the service. Chances are, they will be feeling like to work with you. Also, check near local charity groups to see if they can help, as in good health as government assistance programs.
perchance a loan from a family memeber or a friend...purely to help you out its profusely better then allowing the three of you to freeze....or possibly you can go live next to someone until you get the money.
