          Melissa,
          I’m managing comments for Nicole today. Our writers are working endlessly to keep finding new information for our readers. There are so many requests, we are doing our best to keep up. At this time, Matagorda County is still on our research list. We’ll keep at it! Thanks for your patience.

      Hi, C! I’ve added it to the research list. We are doing our best to finish all of these requests before the next holiday season starts, but there are only two of us working on these lists and we have hundreds of requests. We’ll do our best to get this information for you in time for this year’s holiday season. Be sure to check back in September or October for updates! 🙂

    Hi, Nicole! I was reading down and saw that someone requested Williamson County on Aug 20th. I know you are swamped, but wanted to check to see if there have been any updates? Also is there anything in Travis County as well?

    Thank you it your time!!!

      Daphne, we are working really hard to get help for everyone in the counties they’ve requested, but we are still so swamped. You can check back periodically to see if either county has been added by using the search function on our site! I have added Travis County onto the research list, though.

      Michele,
      I’m so sorry for all that you are going through. Here is the information we have for the power bill. I added your area to our research list for Christmas resources. In the meantime, you could try 211.org for more resources in your area. I hope this helps.

    I am a mother of 3 children. 11 yr old (girl), 5 yr old (girl), and 3 yr old (boy). I am currently looking for work, my kid’s father works but he pays all of the bills in the household and rent. We barely have enough for food, and no longer qualify for food stamps. This is the first Christmas i’m not going to have anything extra for my babies. I’m not use to asking for help. But I remember when I was little my mother, always made sure we as kids never felt her struggles. Part of me feels as if I failed my children because if I don’t get help, they will feel my struggles as a parent. They don’t deserve that. My oldest is passing all her classes and she helps me at home, because I also have health issues. Which is why its taking me a while to find a job. I was an uber driver, but now my car is falling apart and I cant do that anymore. I don’t know what to do anymore. So im asking for help. Please.
