Where is the Utilities Assistance?

If it's any consolation to readers, April is one of the two months of the year with the lowest utility bills; the other being October. If we're hearing any panicking at this point, it's over utilities, especially in Florence.

There are agencies set up to help, at least with past due bills. At this point, we don't have a definitive list. We believe many sites will publish the names of these agencies, but we would also like to have them here, along with your opinion of them. Did they really help you? What can others expect?

Feel free to start sending us any information on these agencies. It's obviously going to get worse before it gets better, so let's get started.

Healthcare workers. They're invaluable at this time. Contact us and tell us what you need. Obviously, there's not a great deal we can do to assist you in your actual job, but how about in other ways. Would a group or club sending hospital staff lunch or dinner each day make a difference? Perhaps you have more ideas? Let us hear what would really help you as you're called to do more in the next few days.
