Pamela Everett admits that the mild winter has made it easier for her to heat the two-bedroom cottage she shares with her daughter. But that was small consolation a couple of weeks ago when her oil tank was running dry and she had no money to refill it. Everett, a single mother who relies on a disability check and child support to get by, didn't qualify for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which helps needy Mainers stay warm in the winter by buying fuel and winterizing homes.
