Damn it.
She's coming for dinner today. Went to the doc last week and he is preparing her for the diagnosis from his physical exam. She's never been married. Just lost her job and is on Cobra. Lives alone. And fosters dogs and cats for a rehoming shelter. She owns a home, But don't know if there's a mortgage. Money is going to be an issue in addition to the battle the doc is preparing her for.
She's coming over for answers. And questions. I have plenty of experience on treatment, etc. to offer her, but I'm wondering what you all know about what financial assistance might be available for her.
She just told me last night in a text that she took in a homeless woman with a dog. WTF? She should be looking for a PAYING roommate. I can't imagine what she's thinking.
Any suggestions on what YOU would do if faced with this situation?
