WE ARE IN THE SAME BOAT.  HAVE YOU TRIED SOCIAL SECURITY FOR YOUR MOM.  IF SHE DOES NOT QUALIFY,  SSI IS FOR THE DISABLED.  ALSO I HAVE READ TO CONTACT SOCIAL SERVICES IN YOUR AREA. 

THESE ARE THE AVENUES I AM TRYING.  NONE HAVE SUCCEEDED YET, BUT NONE HAVE FAILED.

GOD BE WITH YOU AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU FOR BEING THERE WITH YOUR MOTHER.

AND KEEP IN MIND TAKE CARE OF HER AS LONG AS YOU CAN. OFTEN FROM WHAT I HEAR HELP IS NEEDED AND APPRECIATED.  YOUR MOM WANTS YOU TO HAVE THE LIFE SHE DREAMED OF FOR YOU.
