I am a single mother with three daughters 7, 10, and 5 months. I work two jobs and am moving into a new home, better living environment and a great school district for my girls. I am asking for help with my electric bill, as over the past nine months things have been really rough.

I gave birth to my third beautiful baby girl back in December 2009 but was put out of work in November due to much strain in pressure on my legs because of my pregnancy. I then was set back on my bills cause there was barely any income coming in. I had not gone back to work until February of 2010.

I am currently working with a friend of mine to help me get caught up on the bills but things are just not moving fast enough. I especially need help with this bill due to the fact that the move is coming up at the end of July 2010 and I need the electric bill paid off before I move into the new place. Please help me in any way that you can. Thanks.

I want to say first of all I am very grateful that this program exist. We already feel we have benefited from the program and all of it's donors. Because of your help and support I am able to make payment to my PSEG bill, every thing feel right into place at the right time, I was able to have my shut off notice pushed till the 29th of July. I was very worried and concerned that I would not be able to get the money up in time but because of modest needs and the donors coming through, I now know everything will be alright. I truly appreciate all that the donors have done for us. You may not personally know me and I may not personally know you but me and my family hold a dear place in our hearts for you all. We feel you are truly angles sent from heaven watching over and taking care of us. I just pray that one day I can return the favor as well. Again thanks for all your help and support we are truly blessed. Thank You, Single mother in need.
