Government Disability Grant Money Needed For Elderly Mother-In-Law

I will start of by saying the reason I would like a government grant is because my mother-in-law came to visit us about four weeks ago with her other two kids and they are still staying with us to this day.

The reason that she is still with us is because when she left where she was staying to come visit us the lady she was staying with had other intentions. She told my mother-in-law never to come back.

It is hard leaving under one roof with five adults and two children. My mother-in-law has fallen two times at my house and I as a certified nursing assistant would like to be at home with her to make sure that she will be okay.

As an older woman she needs medical things like MiraLax, sinus and allergy pills, pain meds for her arthritis and Preparation H. I have been getting that stuff she needs with my money.

I have had brain embolizations myself four times and I still have an arteriovenous malformation. It is being pain-controlled with medicine.

My brother-in-law gets food stamps but I get nothing. My son's father doesn't even pay his child support. It is getting very hard. I feel like the home that my husband and I just bought is not a home any more.

Times are getting hard and I have had to scrape pennies just to buy some toilet tissue. I usually go to meetings to do the research for a new community center that just opened but I can't go as planned because I don't even have the gas to get there.

I would basically like to be able to afford things we need and be able to make my home more appropriate for her disability. Yes she does get social security, Medicaid and Medicare.

I could go on and on but I am time limited at this computer. Thanks for listening to my story and for any government disability grant money that can be directed my way.
