need help paying rent

I about ready to give up. I am a 61 year old Disabled Vet I have tried to get help with my rent for 2 1/2 months on my rent with no luck at all finding help. Every organization and church I have called upon is out of money or the do not help the old Vietnam era Vet out, just the Vets coming back from Irac and Afghanistan. So us old Vets are push aside just like it was when we came back from Nam. I am to old and to ill to go back on the streets again and I really hate to lost everything that I have again. Everything has been going up in cost, except my small VA check. The Electric and Gas and my rent and other bill have exceed my check where I tried to jungle them around to keep ahead and now it has caught up to me and now I am behind. I don't know where to turn now and I am totally stretch out in worry. Where can I get help now?

HB has KidneyDisease

I am a Disabled Vet. My doctors have just told me that I have Chronic Kidney Disease. They are scheduling me for surgery to have my tubes put in to start my Kidney Dialysis. I know God is with me and I get through all this, but I am still scared. I am in financial bind and afraid I going to lose everything (my home, my utilities, my car, my pets, and everything I own) my boat is sinking and I having trouble finding a patch to fix it. Just going back and forth to the doctor has cost me more than I can afford. I am so far behind in all my bills that I am about to be throw out on the street. There seem to no end to my expenses, everything keep rising in cost and my monthly check stay the same. There is no help here in Houston and any Veterans Organization that will help are mainly helping the Vets just coming home from Afghanistan and Iraq, and us old vets are put off to the side. All the other Organization do not have the funds to help, because the over need of people in need and beside every time I try contact one of the agencies for help they put me on hold and by the time they answer the phone the reach quota.

My energy is gone, because of all the worrying of how to survive and it takes every bit of energy to get up and get going each day. The heat is draining all the energy out of me too, it is because of I have breathing problems and the hot air is sucking the little bit of air I have out of me.(COPD) There is times when I just want to cry out to God to take me home, then I think of my pets what would happen to them. They are the only thing that keeps me going each day. They are like my children there is no one that wants to take care of so I have taken them in, someone has too.
I am trying to keep my head above water until I can reach solid ground, my boat has a hole in it and I need HELP to patch the hole I am in.
I am 3 1/2 months behind on my rent. If I do not have caught up by this month I am on the streets.I in need of HELP real bad.
