Single Mom W/MS - Heating Bill

My Story:

Hello,

First I want to say thank you for taking the time to read about myself, and what I am asking for. I have a disability of MS, but I am not disabled. I am a single Mom, of two great boys who are now on there on. I live by myself. Even though I have a job, I find that between household bills, and medical bills, (MS drugs monthly)I am just getting by. I am on unemployment and that cuts your paycheck basically in half.

I need help with my fuel bill for my house. I have used up the crisis oil funds that I get through Energy Assistance. With the rise of the price of fuel, it continues to increase every day. My oil company will only deliver with a payment. I do not have the funds to even get the small amount. I am right now below an 1/8 in the tank. I have been using a heating in the living room, so not to use the oil.

Any help that you could give would be so much appreciated. I am working part time, and will get more hours in the summer. I know that what I am asking for will not change my life, but it will help change the money situation, and I will have more options come next fall, as I would have a full tank of oil, and not have to ask Energy Assistance for help till the following year. I have tried other agencies, but a lot are done for the season, or certain agencies just don't have any funding. I thank you so much for listening to my plea.
