I'm 67 yr old widow, alone, w lupus, just got thru 4 yr colon CA fight, wear diapers, as I have dumping syndrome, I have no help here, in Western, NY, my daughter wants me to move to FL w them, then into a hud Sr apt I was okayed for, but w covid... l own my mobile home, how can I sell, & pack what I want, as sick as I am, & get to Florida, when her & hub can't help cuz work full x w no vacations. I need a packers, sell a lots of stuff but take a lot, sell this, so confused, don't know what to do. In 2 wks I'll have a nice used Subaru suv, that I prob can pack w necessities, rvs, lamps, clothes, sentimental things but not furniture only taking end tables but how do I get rid of all other stuff. How can I do this alone, where do I begin? I do have credit cards, but can't put much on them, as I owe 8000$ already from med bills, prob enough to hire someone to put some important things in a storage where my daughter & husband has one here & eventually must get but I'm even too sick to pack separate important papers. I've been too sick 6 yrs to keep it all straightened out. Pleasee give me advice, I can prob get 12,000 for this then can pay those cards almost off, do I get 1 card at 0% & put them on that from discover, personal loan? I only get SS, how can I move 2500 miles to be healthier (as I was, when I was there Christmas 2 Mos,) with no help, do I sell, leave everything, pay someone to come take it all out begin over, what can I do?
When it comes to hospital bills you may want to consolidate them if not from one place. That way they are paid off and then you pay off the loan with one payment.
As suggested your Office of Aging maybe able to help.
As 97yroldmom suggested your local area's Agency on Aging may have resources for free debt counseling. In order to talk to debt counselor you will need to have all the most recent info on hand and know exactly where you stand so you can answer questions and present the info in an understandable way.
You can also call up churches local to you and see if they have a Care Ministry. You don't need to be a member to get help. That's what my little church does. They can help you with short-term projects like getting your paperwork in order, packing, etc. Personally, I would start with solving my financial problems before moving. It may be that you'll need to claim bankruptcy to get out of debt, but there are possible consequences to that move. Beware of bankruptcy "specialists"... they took my MIL to the cleaners (she paid the attorney in jewelry and other non-cash items -- very sketchy!)
You have much on your plate so eat the elephant one bite at a time. Covid has made many peoples' lives so much more complicated right now. I wish you succes in sorting through things and finding a smart starting point. May you have peace in your heart and better health in your future!
See if they are able to come assess you for needs and which services they might offer that would help you sort this out.
