I quit my job and lost my health insurance in order to keep my mother at home. Myfamily has supported my choice but it has cause financial

hardship for my husband and I. There seems to be no help for us. All help is geared toward the patient. I am appreciative of that help but if my husband and I dont soon find help, we may have to put my mother in a nursing home. Any suggetions?
