Who To Turn To?

I am a 27 year old disabled student (freshman in college) on SSDI, with the goal of financial and personal independence.  While I have made tremendous progress towards my goal, I have found myself in a rut with my electricity and phone bills (home/cell/internet); I take classes online, so having the internet is a necessity towards obtaining my degree, and as circumstance would have it  I have not beel able to pay these bills off in their entirity for several months, so I have accumulated $400.00 (give or take) for my electricity and phone (combined bill), between the monthly services and late fees/charges;  I have received disconnection warnings and notices, yet the places I have turned to for help have stipulations (for electricity they will only pay for services in the summer months for electricity, and the other program has a 3 month processing period after the application has been approved. I have been unable to find assistance for my telephone service).  My family is unable to help me.  Where does one turn for help, when help seems out of reach? I came across this site earlier today, and decided to take a chance and post.  If anyone can offer assistance in any way I would be forever grateful (either financial assistance, or pointing me towards other available resources, information.)  It is, in part, humiliating, coming here and asking strangers for help, but it seems as though I am out of alternatives.   

Thank you in advance, and kind regards for a good day!
