Carol Bradley Bursack, Dec 30, 2011

Over the span of two decades author, columnist and speaker Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Because of this experience, Bradley Bursack created a portable support group, the book "Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories."

 

She would likely qualify for subsidized housing because of her SSI. She's pay a portion of her SSI for that. If she's already spending her SSI on these other things, then something will have to give. You likely should check with SSI to see what is allowed. Good luck,
Carol
