Help us keep the utilities on

Donation protected
My name is Bevin Potter and I am a wife and mother of two boys.  I lost my job with a mortgage company in April of 2014.  We have struggled since. It has been difficult to find another job making the amount of money that I did and to also cover the care of my children while I start to work again. 

We have struggled over the months and are losing our house to the mortgage company.  Which is difficult enough to deal with, but we can't afford the bills that go along with the house.  I have not been able to pay the utilities in a couple of months and although we are in our winter months, they are shutting off our electricity.  I talked to my sister and she paid what she could and maxed out her own credit card to help me.  Now I will owe our utilities and my sister.  I just dont know where to go for help.  I cashed out my 401k to get by and do not know where next months bills will be coming from.

I tried to apply for assistance but my husband's gross pay is more than what is allowable.  He has taken out three 401k loans himself to help us get by and to pay for his mothers funeral last year.  I have no more options and am not able to get help elsewhere. 

I just want to keep the heat and lights on during the winter months while we figure out where we can move once the bank takes away our home.
