55. I do understand

The social worker thinks we might be better getting assisted living but we have been determined to try on our own. She does look over things which is a help. I lowered the goal to $1,500. The original amount still would be ideal due to housing availability and lacking any money right now. But maybe that scared people off.

I wish we had family, closer friends, etc. it is like a job taking care of mom.

Food actually is not a problem as I just got the EBT. Everything else is a problem.
