free money to help pay bills

 in response to Starshine...   

Hi Starshine's 

I hope all is well with you, and thanks so much for responding to my add. Right now I have apply for public assistance, but that is not enough money to make ends meet, but I'm truly bless for that.  In the process of applying for unemployment.  The work that I did was clerical, been with a company for 5 years, business was slow so they had to let some of us go, went to work and told us that we were no longer needed, could you imagine how I felt.  The ages of my kids are 20,19,15 and 6 months, my oldest two are full time college student who I am so very proud of.  I have always providing for my family as a single mother. I'm willing to do whatever to get back on the right track.  Thanks also for all the tips will look into them, and have a blessful day.

I don't agree that nobody is receiving help here.  Help comes in various forms.

If people are looking to be financially RESCUED from situations that have long been needing addressed and have been allowed to reach emergency status, then I would say the most any the average visitor can do is give them some guidance to get them on the right track (to me, that has value).  In those cases, a few bucks won't help and I, for one, don't throw good money at an incurable problem.  We all have our own criteria for deciding who we help and nobody should be judged for it.

Here is what goes through my head when someone posts an urgent need:

1.  How did they get themselves into this situation (for example, the family that can't feed four children, yet has another on the way probably won't get my sympathy for being irresponsible)?

2.  How will a contribution actually help them in the long term (often times it's just a band-aid that's just deferring the inevitable)?

3.  What is their plan for getting out of this mess (almost always, there isn't one)?

And that's what I call round 1 qualifiers.

In short, don't think that just because you post an urgent need that there are benefactors chomping at the bit to blindly hand over their money (would you??).  You're going to have to do your part in solving your own problems.

From what I have seen in the posts, this site does more than any other to help you do that.

 

 

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ALOT OFF PEOPLE ARE IN NEED OF HELP BUT I DONT SEE ANYONE ACTUALLY HELPING ANYONE.IT DOESNT SEEM AS THOUGH PEOPLE THAT CAN ACTUALLY HELP ARE RESPONDING TO ANY PERSON IN NEED OF HELP AT ALL.I THINK EVERYONE ASKING FOR HELP ARE WAISTING THEIR TIME NO-ONE WILL HELP YOU.THE RICH PEOPLE THESE DAYS DONT CARE,EVERYONE THINKS THAT EVERYONE ASKING FOR HELP ARE JUST LYING TO GET MONEY.BELEIVE ME IVE TRIED TO GET HELP AS I TOO AM IN DIR STRAITS.

my mom is also and she cant seem to find a job but i was wondering if maybe you had gotten any help with the money to pay bills and if maybe she could too?

Hi

I am sorry you got laid off your job. Did you call 211 for to see about temporary cash assistance if available in your state? How old are your children? 

What kind of work did you do before? Have you looked at the senior center in your area? In  my area people sign up to help seniors out and if you are called you can put down what you would like to be paid to help them out. 

You can try modestneeds.com and they have income requirements but give it a try. There is wishuponahero.com and look at some of the post here to give you an idea of other jobs you can do. 

Do you want a  work from home job? Check out womenforhire.com

and if you need more information you can check out my blog

I certainly will keep you in my prayers. 

I know it hard times out there

take care

Starshine

Hi, Im a single mother of 4 beautiful kids... I just got laid off and having a very hard time  making ends meet. .I had to apply for public assistance and struggling to pay my bills.   I'm willing to find work and become more self sufficient again so that we can live a descent life.  I am tried of not having nothing or not being able to provide for my kids.  I'm in need of help paying my bills.  Please keep me in your prayers and have a bless day.

I am a single mother of three. Two of my three children are on the autism spectrum. This make finding daycare next to impossible. So, work is also hard to come by. My school loans fell so far behind that now I can't go to school at all. I can't even file for bankruptcy because I don't have the means to do so. I don't know if anyone can or is even willing to help me with financial help. If I could get my loans and debts paid off that I currently owe, I know I could keep my head above water after. I just need a break. Currently my bills exceed $8,000. I have done my very best to keep from incurring any more. This amount is more late fees than anything.

I have spent my life trying to help others with keeping food in their homes. Taking out loans to help others who felt like the world was closing in on them so tight that they couldn't breathe, but then I fell behind and it seems that no one could help me. I pray, I meditate, and still try to do what good I can for others because I know what if feels like when you're under these pressures. You feel alone and like no one cares for you. When someone does reach out I can only imagine that it provides some hope for a better future. Though, that is something I have not yet experienced.

 

I have 5 children and am going to be evicted in 5 days if I do   not pay my rent I owe 1,500.00 please help. susanmccarthyone@gmail.com

yes i am single mother and unemployed and need money to pay my rent

My husband and I are both employed by Walmart.  A year ago we bought a little 'fixer upper'.  Really cute house, but we ran out of money.  In January my husband got sick, we have been off work since then, going back and forth to the doctor two and three times a week.  Our little home still just sits there, not finished, and we are stuck in a rental where it costs us $800 a month just for rent and gas.  We still have to pay electric, phone, food, fuel to get to the doctor, etc.  The short term disability is just over $125 a week, and that is just for him being sick.  I can't collect anything because I am home taking care of him and everything else.  What do we do?  If we could just get our little home finished, we would not pay rent or a mortgage or a gas bill because it is all electric.  I don't know what to do.

 in response to freemyspirit...   Sorry and I agree life in America is changing for all Americans but it has been changing for a while it just isn't getting better so people NEED to start helping out their neigbors whether it is housing, food , clothing etc...

 in response to Starshine...   

As to all of those places, I have already been. And they all look so good on paper but in real life........not so much. I have had more doors closed in my face and more dead ends and brick walls, then you can count. At 10 AM tomorrow I will have no choices left, even local help ministries here where we are stranded can not or will not help us. I can not even get churches to ask their parishioners.

Life in America, for Americans is changing.

How did you get yourself in 10,000 dollars of debt??? Maybe get a roomate to help with the costs or file bankruptcy. 

You are young to be in that much debt unless you took out student loans?

Good luck

Starshine

Hi, my name is DeAndre and I need help with helping my bills because I'm in terrible debt right now; in at least $10,000.00 in debt and need help immediately. Been looking for a job for the pass three months right and it is still hard to find one. I'm just praying to god if some miracle happen this year and hoping that someday this situation will be paid off.

hi..my name's Juna Arelong living Arkansas state,well i really some money for my self now i lose my job at walmart i need money for paying my bill.....

 in response to pep...   

I know it isn't much but here's the information I can give you. If it is food that you are having problems

getting got to Angel Food Ministries. They have what they call a "Signature Box" - it has enough food to feed a family of 4 for a week. The box costs $30. I cannot go to the grocery store and get the high quality food that they provide for that price. The box includes a dozen eggs and one shelf stable milk.It also has meat and vegetables  They have a website and have pickup sites around the country. It is

Angel Food Ministries that has made it possible to feed my family during our "lean" week (the week we have to pay our mortgage). I have to save up the money to get the box from the other weeks of the month but it is worth it knowing that my fmaily will have food in thir tummies.

Take care

Starshine

Due to lay-offs, my boyfirend is currently unemlployed. I work a full time job, part time job, and have sold most of my things to help pay the bills. We pinch pennies everywhere and still nothing seems to help. My parents have both recently lost their jobs and his parents are no longer living, so there isn't any help there. If anyone can help, It would be forever appreciated.

 

 

There is no help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know I have been everywhere and on every place I have contacted 211 and all the other supposed charities.

On Monday morning I will take my nine yr old daughter and I will try to hitchhike back to Colorado, because there is no help in America for Americans.

Charities and non profits give to each other. Human beings no longer care about each other. So much for honest living and integrity. The criminals and politicians and entertainers, take it all from those of us at the bottom.

Just a simple vehicle, even enough funds to stay in the hotel another week giving us a  little more time, no and to top it off my daughter is sick. BUT THERE IS NO HELP ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I A GRANT GOING TO SCHOOL  AND GETING HELH PAYING MY BILLS

i am very upset with how America is responding to people in need of help. i have spent many hours at different sites andon the phone and right now i am sitting in a cold house with no heat. i was laid off,then my parents became ll. hospice could not help then. i was having problems and an MRI showed too much fluid on my brain which will be in another town about 3 hours away. yes, i have learned to pick up cans and have even told organizations i would pay them back when i got on my feet Alabama hardly offers anything especially the locals. medical bills are outrageous and ther is always help with that. but when you look you ca not find it. i have always been a positive christian and know God has a plan. But all of us get depressed and with the grief of my dad and all the other i guess you could say you just had one less person to listen to.please do not think i am talking just about you.  i have 5 or 6 pages of referrals to help and noe of them actually do.

I am a single mother of one  I need money to help catch up with my bills and help my daughter for her school stuff....I am currently unemployed.

 in response to aballer53141...   It is probably in your best interest to file medical bankruptcy. Then you can set up arrangements to make your regular monthly bills. You will have to find a bankruptcy lawyer. All of them will give a free consultation. Have your bills organized and amounts ready. They will want to know how much is in medical, living costs, credit cards, secured and unsecured loans and income. I would start there if I was you. Things will get better if you do. It does take time.

i was asked to leave my teaching job and i have been in financial difficulty ever since.i am aimost two years behind in my mortagage and condo fees as well as my gas and lights  i have done a mortagage modification,but they want $10,000 dollars efore it will start,please help.

 in response to Lady Tay...   sorry

my wife has been diagnosed with stage four cervical cancer i have bills up to my eye balls..the total now surpasses 30,000 i have no clue what to do but maybe die with her

 in response to blood4lyfe05...   

Maybe I'm reading your post wrong but I would think that transferring lights into another name would be as simple as calling the light company to have it arranged.

My experience with this comes from the fact that I had to do all of this kind of stuff when my mother died but it was a simple enough process - I just got everything changed over into my name by applying for a new account. 

im  need help to transfer my lights into my name can u help me?

 

Hi,my name is don,and I really need 600,dollars for damage deposit,I wouldnt ask,its that work is very hard to find in minneapolis,and my boss back out from helping us,thanks you,djseverns2004@yahoo.com

I am 28 year old female in desperate need of financial help to pay for rent.  I have a severe heart condition in which I am on a heart transplant list for.  I have spoken to my landlord and tried to work things out, but she has basically told me that if I do not come up with the $2000 I owe by Tuesday, February 23, she is going to evict me.  I have tried everything (pawning whatever belongings I have, borrowing money from friends and family, applying for work even though my doctor's have strongly advised against it due to my condition, and even applying for welfare.  Welfare told me I was not low income enough, my income was about $50 off from their cut off point) just to come up with the money and I have had not luck.  There has been several times my water, electricty and gas have been turned off and  I am at my wits end and don't know what to do.   

I am a vietnam combat veteran and a retired chrysler worker, I need help paying my bills.  I served in vietnam and was shot three (3) times in my left leg back in 1967.  I worked for Chrysler for thirteen (13) years and was forced to retire back in 2001.   I resently worked for home depot but was let go due to my disabilities from my military service.  I am currently going to the VA hospital in Detroit, for many related problems steming from my service in vietnam.  I have only a small pension from chrysler and my social security.  I am unable to work due to my many problems coming service related wounds etc.  My wife had to take a partime job at mcdonalds just to help, but with her health issues it only hurt her more than it is helping.  I am very proud and don't want to ask for help, but I will lose everything if I can't get help with paying my debts.  Thank You

 in response to sickntire...   Hi, we are in the same boat as you but yours is higher than ours, we called a church in our town who helps in people utilites ,the baptist church has funds for this , and I talked to the pastor about it and he told me they have a deacon fund for utilities and he will let us know. Pray they call us soon as we have a 3 year old and alot of very unbearable snowy weather. all we need is someone to make a pledge to the utility board that this will be paid and to stall for them not to shut us off until the 1st of march . then we can pay 446. on the first. If the church dont call, we will go to dept. of human services for help as they do help in emergency help for utility bills. so check with a baptist church and see if they have a deacon fund to help w/utility.Good luck and God Bless you.

I am married and I'm not working now, I need help paying our bills

 in response to sickntire...   Have you tried talking to your utility company about a payment arrangement?  Are you considered low-incomed?  If so then they should have some sort of program that you could participate in.

I am 21 and I am a single mother.I also care for my 17 year old sister.I need money to get an apartment big enough for the 3 of us.Also to pay off overdue bills and school loans.I have been living house-to-house and I am unemployed...I really need help.

 in response to sickntire...   

Hi

Try this for help with that utility bill

http://www.modestneeds.org/

They might help and contact your utility company to see about low income programs for you and to see if you can make payment arrangements.

You can call 211 to see if qualify for any programs such as temporary cash assistance or any other programs they may know of . 

You can check my blog for other information that may help you.

Amen

Have faith in God that he will come threw for you, God Bless you and your family.

 in response to Moneyluver...   

i'm sorry but I dont love money, I want money but money realy dosent by happiness , when money is a rule of all evil. Look at our aidpage in everyone in need of money for some reason, God created it all for us to use why do we have to pay for anything, Did God ask for money when he created the earth, sky,sun,creatures,plants and living thing, fruit and berries. I say No he didnt, So why do those who created electrictrity have to charge us for that usage and the gas company that is chargeing us to use it should'nt we be using these items for free. Why should we be charged at all when God realy created it.? Look where the world is now. God Bless you all.

 in response to mouke...   I just want to tell you how much I'm proud of you wanting to make something of yourself at a young age , and if prayer will help in any way for you than my prayers are with you and keep going forward to meet your goal for your degree, you seem very determend and God will Bless you, Have faith in God and all things are possible for you to meet your dreams. Matbe you can apply for a school loan or a grant to finish your schooling. God bless you.

 in response to staceys...   

I just want to say to you my prayers are with you and your mother and for meeting your car payments, but to realy tell you that you do need to take time for your health and if your not feeling well you will not be able to give your mother all the help you want to give her if you are sick, taking care of someone takes alot out of a person, Please see a doctor for youself so you can be more stronger for taking care of your mother. Prayers are with you to find a job and make your vehicle payments, God Bless you for taking care of your mother.

 in response to sweetnjbiggirl...

My husband is on dialysis 3 times a week works part time.  I tried working for extra money and it but us further behind.  He has medicad and medical card.  We also receive food stamps and he gets $.25 a mile for driving to dialysis.  When I went to work we lost his medical card, food stamps and mileage.   I needed medicine I hade to pay for because I have no presription coverage.  He was in the hospital 4 times in November till week before Christmas.  The hospital he was in was 1 hour away, had a granddaughter in for back surgery that was 4 hrs away, then I had surgery for 5 hernies.  We are both doing great.  Will I am, but husband is very tried.  I'm asking for a little help to get caught up.  If anyone can help I would be very greatful.  Prayers will help.

Hello. I am a 37 year old, divorced, single mother of one 6 year old little girl. I live pay check to pay check and most days, I still fall short and have to juggle one bill or another, scrape money together to put gas in my car to get to and from work. From time to time, I go without a meal to make sure that I have food for Lauren. More than once, I have had to ask my Mom for help – even though they are poor too – she sends what she can, even if it’s $20.

In my case, I am a product of our economy, society and my own mistakes ~ not trying to use that as an excuse for my situation ~ in the end, I am where I am by my own doing. I am not asking for a hand out or charity, I am simply wondering if anyone could/would be willing to arrange a low or no interest loan – that would be paid back with regular payments. At this point, I don’t know where else to go for help.

Last year, because of the economy, the company I work for put us on a furlough. My hours/pay was cut for 7 months ~ thankfully our furlough has ended. As a result of the furlough however, I fell behind on my bills. At this point, I cannot get caught up and try to get things flush, paid off and eventually ahead. I am currently living in studio apartment because it was the cheapest housing I could find. Most of my stuff is in storage. I know that everyone makes mistakes. I want the chance to fix some of mine.

I had been going along ok with my finances ~ but, then my husband and I separated, I met wonderful man whom I fell head over heels in love with (my daughter loves him and even my ex likes him!) ~ but, shortly after I met him, he was diagnosed with stage 4 Nodular sclerosis CHL (Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.) – a form of cancer. He was 32 when we met/he was diagnosed. He’s had chemo and radiation and then was treated again with chemo when the tumors resurfaced. In August 2007, he had a stem cell transplant and by the Grace of God, he’s in remission.

But, because of these things, my finances slowly began to suffer. Then the furlough hit last year and things turned for the worse. My credit has sunk … I can’t get a loan because of this and because I don’t really “own” anything of value, etc. Lately it feels like I’m one of those “if I didn’t have bad luck, I’d have no luck at all” people. I am not trying to complain or whine as I said before, I am where I am today because of the decisions I have made, I would just like a chance to get my finances back in order. I know that if I could get a loan no/low interest loan to cover any and ALL of my debts to where I could pay off my individual creditors and then pay one person/place a month payment – or two payments per month (since I get paid every 2 weeks) that I can get my life back on track. I’m tired of the struggle. I am tired of the anxiety, of crying myself to sleep at night, of wondering if I will make it to Friday with the gas I have in my tank, etc. Unfortunately, the loan would take me a while to pay off. I am looking to borrow $100,000 (like I said, I know it is crazy, but I want to pay off ALL of my outstanding individual debts.) The payment arrangements can be discussed in a more private setting.

If there is anyone out there that is able to help me, I can't even begin to express my gratitude. I know that I am not alone in this battle. I don't want to give up.

I am a 52-year-old mother.  We have lived in our family home for ten years.  It's all we have.  A couple of years back, my dear husband came down with a serious illness.  We refinanced the house into a low-payment loan in order to get through the hard times.  When my husband got better, we tried to refinance but by then the equity had dropped and no one would refinance us.  As a result, our loan balance grew and grew.  We tried and tried to work with our mortgage company, and have tried to obtain a loan modification.  THen, last May, I was laid off from my job.  I have not been able to find a job since then.  I am still trying.  But, now the mortgage company has turned us down due to not enough income.  Now we have just received a Notice of Trustee's Sale.  I don't know what to do, or where we'll go.  I'm frightened for my children.  The only way I can think to save our house is if we had enough money to show to the bank, so that they would at least work with us again.  I probably need $20,000 to $50,000, but anything at all would help.  I never could have imagined myself asking for money in this way.  I am so ashamed.  But, I'm desperate to take care of my family.  Thank you

 in response to sexyjada10...   Unfortunately you haven't said what kind of help that you need.  If you are working but are considered low-incomed then you should go to your nearest social services agency to find what kind of programs you can qualify for.  There may be programs like the WIC program to help feed your children and you may be able to qualify for food stamps and other benefits as well.

 in response to sexyjada10...   

  Are you or your children disabled ? Where is the father of the children and is he paying child support ? Look into these questions I ask you and find an answer . Sounds to me like you want free money because you are unemployed. Try living on a fixed income that doesn't pay all the bills and maybe you will see how disabled people try to live. Go to jobs.com and put your resume in there as there are so many jobs at that site.

I am currently sitting here freezing. I ran out of propane overnight last night and have no money to refill my tank. I am also behind in all of my other utility bills as well. I was injured in October and have not been able to work since then. I have developed joint problems and fear that I will never be able to work again. I miss my job, my life, everything. I haven't been out of my house in over a month now due to severe pain. It's all I can do to get up and walk to the bathroom. I don't have insurance so I can't even afford to see a doctor. I did go to the ER when I fell and the Doctor there told me that without surgery there is nothing else they can do for me. However, without insurance, I can't get the surgery that I need. I was the main financial supporter for my family. My husband has epilepsy and degenerative disks in his back as a result of multiple seizures throughout his lifetime. Fortunately once I was unable to work we qualified for Food Stamps and free medication for his seizures, but since we don't have kids we don't qualify for anything else. We have already gotten help from Community Action for our electric bill and heat at the beginning of winter. We also qualified for just over $300 from HEAP in December. But now we have ran out of propane again and can't get help from those agencies again. We don't know where to turn or what to do. I hate asking for help from anyone and its so hard to admit that I can't pay my bills. But I'm cold. So here I am. If there is some generous person out there who can help us, please contact me at lnthofmann@yahoo.com Thank you for taking time to read this and for your consideration.

They would be the ones that would have to apply for assistance.  DHS can be poopheads at times.  Actually, this day and age alot of people are loosing their homes, nasty adj. mortgage.  Use to have a 12.9% loan, started out 6.9%, pretty sick situation.  I won't suggest credit counceling, ticked me off when someone wouldn't listen to me.  There's a site called hope I think.  I forget, calling bank does help, for a bit.  Sorry to sound harsh, but sometimes, & did do this myself, got a 2nd job. Before i got laid off from one, and the other went out of business.  I know, jobs aren't easy, and hunting is the worst jb of all.

I am 22 and a single mother of 3 kids. I need money to help pay my power & light bill and its to cold to go with out heat. please help me.

My parents have been very hard workers all of their lives. Stories my father has told me stories of having to wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the doughnut shop before school everyday. He has told me stories of finally making enough money to get the shoes he has always wanted growing up so he wont get made fun of anymore at school. These stories are heart renching. I would be lost without my parents. They were always making it untill now. My mom was working for a self-owned real estate agent. And as of october she is unemployed. My father is a maintinance man, VERY hard working and religious man. My parents have given up everything for me and my brother and our community. I am on my knees BEGGING for anyhelp. I have recently dropped out of college to help them. I have had to give up scholarships and my dream. I would do anything for my parents. Please if anyone knows anything I can do to help them Please, please let me know. They are getting their house reposessed if they dont come up with enough money to pay off their loan. I am working full time and it is not helping. I applied for food stamps to help them and get them groceries every month. Please give me ideas of what I can do. Thank you for you time.

I like to know what it is you are asking?  Are you asking someone to send you $20,000?

I know that there are sites online where people can request money but I have to tell you that a lot of them require you to submit documentation proving that you have a need.  They may also request your social security number and copies of bills, etc so that they know you are speaking the truth.  However not all sites are like that because I do know of at least one website that lets people request money - but this site's average request amount is stated to be between $100 and $1,000!

I do grant research and you may find that some of the medical bills that you owe can be reduced if you are able to find some programs that can help pay down your medical bills.  There are programs and funding specifically for those who are low-incomed and have a decreased ability to pay.

I have also found that there are no specific grant programs for paying off debt however there are grant programs that award grant money that can be used to pay for anything - and that would include bills.

 I think you are better off asing for grants instead of loans simply because with grants you do not have to pay the money back.

 in response to jenny29...   

If you are low incomed then there could be some grant programs that you can qualify for - such as help with your utility bills.

You mention that you have a paypal account but how are people going to find where to donate to you?

There are also some organizations out there that have to do with helping single mothers 

Here are some excerpts from my blog:

Grants for single mother assistance take many forms. Many grants are small, especially grants for single mother education assistance. However, these small grants can be combined with other forms of assistance and aid. By combining several grant and assistance packages, the single mother can often finance tuition, books, transportation and, even, daycare.

There are numerous foundations offering grants for single mother assistance. These foundations generally only require that the applicant be a single mother or the child of a single mother in order to be eligible for the grant. Some foundations offer grants to assist in paying off student loans. The applicant is often expect to perform community service or do volunteer work in order to qualify for the grant. Professional women who are willing to volunteer their professional services to the community are especially eligible for grants to repay student loan debt. Teachers who are also single mothers may qualify for these grants without doing additional volunteer service, as teaching is considered to be a contribution to the community in and of itself.

These are true stories from amazing Moms. Stories that they live every day & inspired by other Moms not to give up. We appreciate your support to make this program possible. Please read their stories & cast your vote. Congratulations to winners of MARCH 2009-First place: $125 cash!

Have you gone to your local social services agency yet? They would know of programs that could help you with your bills. And also too I'm a little bit confused here because your post says you are looking for money to pay your bills but you also say that you're looking for money to rent an apartment. So does that mean that you have to move from where you are paying bills now?

 in response to LizB...   Some of them require you to show up in person and others will let you apply simply by calling them and sending them the requested documentation to provide proof of your financial need.  In the case of a shut-off notice you would have to provide a copy of your shut-off notice to them.  In some cases they will even let you fax a copy to them because it is quicker and your shut-off notice could be in a few days or even less - so the faster they get a copy of your shutoff notice the faster they can evaluate your case and decide whether or not to grant you the money - which in most cases goes directly to your utility company.

 in response to Roseb441702...   

Well how do you get in touch or submit a request for funds?

I need help I am willing to pay it back at 50.00 per month but they want 131.00 per month. can anyone out there help me. thanks Mickey  mickeytheemouse@yahoo.com

 in response to shrnpolk...   You are going to have to find that information yourself

 in response to Roseb441702...   

can you please give me the website,

Thank you

 in response to shrnpolk...   

Thanks for asking me about the foundation - the one that provides the $9,000 in emergency financial assistance.  I found that information for a client of mine.

Suffice it to say that this is not a government grant but a grant that is being provided by an charitable organization outside of the government.  

However this organization does not have a website - they do have a regular mailing address and a phone number that you can use to contact them.

The information about this organization is online - its just that the organization itself does not have a website!
