Money for deposit/utilities for low income and disabled 6 person family after bed bug infestation

Hi my name is Brandi. My husband and I have a large low income family of six. We have a son and three daughters. our son is 6 and our daughters are 5 months, 10 years old and 13 years old. I get disability and my husbands disability is currently pending. We resently moved into a trailer that we thought would be our permanent home and two days later found it was infested with bed bugs, so now we are moving and have to replace a lot of our belongings and furniture. My husband and I are disabled and right now having to move again with almost no money is impossible and trying to get everything 3 of our kids need for school (supplies, clothes ect.). We just found a house that the owner is willing to hold for us while we try to gather the money to move with. The deposit is $650 But we are also needing money to turn on our utilities/deposits at the new place for the gas, electric, water and trash because it is in a different district than who we go through now and for all that we are looking at close to $350-$400. We have tried all of our local organizations and churchs and they just don't have the funds availible to help us. We can use Wal-mart gift cards, money orders, pre-paid Visa cards sent to Brandi Carnes 7021 Lamplite Circle Owensboro,KY 42303 and we have linked our Paypal to accept donations through there as well. Anything would be greatly appreciated!! We are a a point we we feel there may not be any hope since this is the second time we have posted with no heros the first time. We only have about two weeks to get financial help.God bless you all and thanks for taking the time to read my wish! We are praying for heros!

Thanks for all your prayers. We sure do need them. And our current landlord has skipped town (no surprise). And the reason they wont just transfer our utilities is because they wont transfer from county district to city district. We are using our current utility deposits to pay our last month utilities so when we move (if we get the help) we wont have those past bills to worry about on top of the new bills.

So sorry for your situation. The owner of the trailer should have some responsibility to return your money dont they? If you gave deposits on the trailer for utilities and such can you contact them to transfer to the new company if you have documentation that the trailer was unlivable? I wish I could help but all i can offer is prayers and suggestions. I hope you get your heroes!
