Urgent Help to Keep the Lights On and Oxygen Flowing

Donation protected
For those who know me well, I am very good at asking for help for others, myself not as much myself, but my Case Manager and I have exhausted every avenue to not do another Go Fund Me.

Background -for the past 2 years, I have been receiving help from a charity that my Case Manager set up. They would send $$ to PECO to help with my monthly budget as somehow I receive too much money for LIHEAP (my rent is 47% of my monthly income)
Due to the excessive requests received so far this year, they are limiting $$ and I am currently over that amount. The next time I will receive help id November, and based on current politics, there is no guarantee that funding will be available then.
For the past few months, my Case Manager and I have been holding a Shut Off using a combination of Medical Exemptions ( they allow 3 per year at 30 days each and small payments.
Current Situation - PECO will accept a payment of $618 if I pay my current bill of close to $300 with it. At this point, I have $220. Based on being home 24/7, days of excessive heat as well as having an Oxygen Machine running 24/7 ( which also throws off heat & I am figuring my next bill will be the same.

As I said at the start, I hate doing this. I understand everyone is pretty tapped out or saving every $ due to an unknown future in this COuntry. As I also said we have exhausted every avenue we know (I'm way too old and ill to work and way too ugly to become a male prostitute). If anyone has any additional avenues, please let me know.

If you have read this far, I appreciate you for taking the time. I'm sorry this finised up being so lengthly.
