Need 4 Gas

posted on Jun 27, 2007

I am a 23 year old mother, wife and full-time student.

I live in deep south texas where the cost of living is very cheap, but we are still strugling. With me in school and my husband working full-time we still barley get $1000 a month. Our expenses run around $650 and the rest is used for food, gas and with a growing girl, clothes. We barley have any to save.

My daughter and I don't get out much. It seems like it is now affecting her social skills.

Please help.

Dear Need 4 Gas: I do not know of any programs assisting with gas. However there are programs which will allow you to save in other areas of your budget which will free up more money for non essentials. Also, some buying clubs like Costco sell gas at cheaper rate and you may not be required to hold a membership to purchase gas from them. In some states it is illegal for them to discriminate bases on membership for the sale of fuel. Check and see. I am posting Costco locations in TX with gas stations. This may be true of any other buyer clubs in you area as well. I believe some Sam's clubs also sell gasoline. Low income households may be eligible for more than one utility program, but non low income households can also get limited help. See link for details about utility assistance programs. Other resource links posted and do not forget to check Aidmate Soulight's aidpages which are packed with resources and tips. Blessings, Elaine
