Everyone faces a financial crisis at some point in their life, especially families with small children. Adjusting to the many new expenses is difficult. One of the most important expenses not to overlook is a gas bill. This may often be the source of heat and hot water. Families that neglect these bills may face losing their children to foster care if the problem is repetitive. There are ways to get assistance paying high gas bills, whether they are overdue or not.

The first thing to do is call the gas company and explain the situation. They are usually willing to work out a payment plan, where the outstanding balance can be divided up into several payments and added on to the next few months' bills. Another option is to call the local health and human services department. In some phone books, they have listings in the front of the book for various offices extending family help. Nearly every city has an emergency utility bill assistance program for low-income families and single mothers. Always consider this option instead of ignoring bills and letting them pile up. The last option is to contact local churches, most of which will help families in need of utility bill assistance in the winter months.
