Been sick as a dog for the last few days, which is great when there is so much I need to do, like try to find out how to keep my home, how to have any money, groceries, pay bills, survive, etc. I really do want to move up to Kentucky with Ashley, so am looking at how to....she's gonna look too, but I don't want to bother her....she has a life there

You have got to be the squeaky wheel in terms of getting benefits. Food stamps at the very least! Is your disability state or federal?

The utility companies have low-income and fixed income programs that can help you bring down your utilities, too.

Oh yes, you do have to be squeaky clean, especially here in the state of Louisiana, the original home of crooks, charlatans, and the shady deal.

The food stamps are in process as I type. I have to provide 2 letter proving that Tracy no longer resides here with me, no problem. I don't know how much I will be eligible for, but I will gladly accept what I can get, especially since at the moment I have 20 cents in my pocket. I was able to get some help with LAHEAP for $200 for my gas bill and $250 for my electric bill. Course that has to last me till June, which isn't gonna be more than a month or so, but it will be more than I had last week.

My disability is through my Social Security. It's because of my lungs, which have been horrible for the last 10 years, and are now completely finished with Pulmonary Hypertension. I'm also gonna try to write letters to everyone known to man trying to get help for everything else.
