MariesDaughter Asked February 2015

Is there any available assistance in Volusia county? I do not see it.

I have been caring for my Mom for 2years. We have ran out of resources for her Ensure special foods needed and expenses. I got hit by as car and have been unable to work since 12-12-14 and do not know when I can be working...Is there some kind of financial help as we do not qualify for Government assistance as she gets SS check and we have no dependants living in this house...

To MariesDaughter, Also try the churches in your area if you do not already belong to one. They too can be helpful!

If you got hit by a car, you should be compensated by the person who hit you, and you should be on disability payments. Get a lawyer.
If you and mom are in dire straits, ask your MD if he has some Ensure samples or similar. Ask the pharmacy. Check out Food Pantries.
Even if Mom's SS is over the limit, if she has excessive expenses for MD prescribed items, Medicaid should help. Ask your County Social Services Office of the Aging & Disabled for help.
