My 85yo Mom needs finanical assistance. Any advice?

She has been denied food stamps because they say she is over what is allowed she cant get food and scrips. She need some help. What can we do?

Seek out a food pantry in your Mom's area. That type of aid is typically available. Google food pantries and your Mom's zip code. Check with the department of aging for her state -- on prescription plans for seniors. Finally, she may have to move to a more affordable housing arrangement to make her dollars go farther.
