Hi Joy,

I am new to this group.  I felt terrible when I read of your predicament.  Maybe

you can get assistance with the electric and water.  Several people I know have

done this, due to huge electric and gas bills.  These people had no children,

with kids it should be much easier.  I think it was the HEAP program.

Good luck, Joy, hang in there.  Things will get better.

I may not post much, but I enjoy listening to everyone. I am borrowing

electricity right now to check my computer. My lights and water were cut on

Friday. Don't have the funds to pay. Had to put my 7 and 9 year old with their

father. The real nightmare was when the police stormed my front door yelling I

was an unfit mother because my place was a mess. When I told the officer (the

only female one we have here) that I have Fibromyalgia and need help cleaning

she yelled in my face that that was no excuse. At that point I screamed in her

face " you don't know anything about it so shut up about something you no nothing

about " or something to that extent. I had had a bad enough day without an

ignorant officer saying Fibro was " nothing " .

Hi Joy,

Call or visit your local assistance/welfare office. Tell them you

are a person with disabilities and you power and water have been

shut off. Ask about emergency utility assistance.

Any questions ask, I'm not shy.

Take care of you, you're important to me.

Talk to the chief and file a grievance that you cival rights were violated under

ADA and have the officers involved disciplined.  THere are specific regs on how

an officer is to interact in all circumstances  you were violated.
