Unfortunately, there isn't a lot, but much depends on the state in which you live. I'd suggest you go to your state's Web site and look under something similar to "aging services." There you will find links and also local contacts. Your state may or may have "Cash and Counseling." If it does, that could help. But each state is different.

Good luck with this. You have a lot of company. Please check back for support.
