Debbie, so sorry to hear about the hard situation your in. I completely understand. I've been out of work for 2 years now and just recently started getting disability. But not before I lost everything and filed for bankruptcy. If it wasn't for family buying us food and paying our electric over this last year we wouldn't of made it.

Have you talked to the electric company about paying part of your bill? Our's down here let us make payments. One month of our electric bill was over $300 for just one month. You can also get them to set your electric bill to one price if you had them for a year. They like average your bill out over a year so you don't get hugh bills.

Is it your heating unit that got jacked up? If you have to get it replaced our friends heat pump went out on them and since they were low income the electric company had a program that replaced their pump and they make small payments on their electric bill for the new unit. The pumps are great I love them. Heat in the winter and AC in the summer which you know is a must have in Kentucky. Trying to think of other things that could help you. You know to talk to the Community Action in your area, they also do weatherization to your house to help cut down on your energy bills. If your low income you qualify for that as well. They do insulation and seal up cracks around your windows, things like that.

I wasn't sure of the county you live in, so I just have the list. Contact them and talk to them about your situation. If you know ahead of time which programs you may need you'll get help faster. People just tend to help you for the things you ask about and don't tell everything you may qualify for.
