Have you tried contacting your local social services agencies? That is where I would start, they have emergency funds to help people in these situations.

Good luck to you

Absolutely there are people to help you out. I live in a small town of 3000, and there are two agencies here that will help people with utilities. You have to be below a certain income level, though. Otherwise, you may be better off paying your utilities and letting the payday loan payments go, and deal with them with a consolidation or something - there's plenty of advice on this site for helping people with payday loan troubles. If winter comes and you don't have heat, you could have health problems too.
