I have an odd question but I need some help - My mind is foggy and I don't even know where to start with this all... any help is appreciated.
My mother is disabled and cannot work. My father is the bread winner of their household but I don't know if he'll be able to work due to his serious illness. My mother is overwhelmed with everything (which is to be expected and understandable)... so, I'm trying to do everything that I can to help them.
Where do we start with getting my mother social security? Would it be best to get a social security lawyer to help her get some kind of aid? If something happens to my father, she will have zero income and won't be able to keep afloat. I want to do what I can to keep her from losing her house and to keep food on their table. I've been helping them financially for most of the year but I can only do so much while keeping my household running. So, I guess I need to look into social security? I'm so confused but any help from people who have been there would be greatly appreciated.
Perhaps there are charities that might be able to help my parents? If you've ever had any help from a charity in Florida (that you'd like to recommend) - please let me know which one and I'll contact them ASAP. I do appreciate your help! My head is spinning and I don't know who to ask... I feel so weird asking this but I'm at a loss.
Thank you.
