Have too much month at the end of your money? Me too - and that's how Low Income Relief got started. I have over 20 years of professional research and writing experience. Over the years, I've worked as a novelist, journalist, ghostwriter and content creator. My work has been featured in various print and online publications, including USA Today, eHow.com, Livestrong.com, Legal Beagle, The Daily Herald (Provo, Utah), The Chronicle (Centralia, WA) and others. At Low Income Relief, I use my professional research and reporting experience to help low income families save money and make ends meet. It's been my full-time job since 2016, and it's truly an honor to serve you.

I did not see Grant County on the list. I'm 61 years old and I have a 21 year mentally handicapped granddaughter who lives with me. I recently lost my home because of my service animal and granddaughter's out burst,but I just recently have gotten my great great niece and nephew who I have been taking care of and was really needing help with Christmas for them. I receive SSDI and after bills and food I'm broke. Just wondering if I could get help.
