Hi I am a single mother living in Oakland Ca who is currently without electricity. I am on section 8 (which is a low income housing program)
and during the holidays my power got shut off,I made arraignments but could not keep them with xmas and rent and a huge vet bill (we had to put our 11yr old dog down) and my daughters b-day 2weeks after xmas needless to say we fell on a tough time.So I decided to seek out all this "help" with my PG&E,Now I googled it and every single place that advertised help for "low income" families that I managed to actually get through to was NOT for "low income" families.To be eligible you had to be a "senior"or "disabled" or collecting social security! After spending hours on the phone I was PISSED off.These places that say "low income" need to advertise "help for low income seniors or low income people with disabilities" It's a joke a bunch of bullshit,there is no help for single mothers.It's very misleading.There is programs in Berkeley and San Fransisco but not Oakland? Bullshit

PATHETIC! Do you have no shame or what! You just got finished explaining that you are on section 8 and receive assistance from the government to keep a roof over you and your families head. Then you said PG&E was kind enough to work out a payment plan with you so you and your family would not be left without power. Nevertheless, you could'nt even keep up your part of the bargain. Yet, you blame a huge f***n vet bill and Xmas presents for your power being turned off! Get real lady, you are obviously one of the many lowlife lazy people in this country that feel they are owed something for some god forsaken reason! You need to grow up and learn how to be responsible instead of trying to find new ways to milk hardworking tax paying citizens money. People like you are BULLSHIT and should be cutoff from all assistance programs. Maybe if you lived in a third world country and had nothing you would be a little more appreciative and would realize what a "tough time" really was! Perfect example of how bad our country has trained these lazy trash losers that everything is owed to them and should be free! You are BULLSHIT!
