I am a 48 year old sigle mother of 2 boys. I have raised them on my own. I have been working as an RN for 24 years. I had a good income but 3 years of illness and depression have taken its toll. I am not used to asking for help but have decided that if there is real help out there this is the time to get it. My 71 year old mother also lives with me. She tries to help but a social security income of 6,000 a year does not give her too much lee way. She has maxed out credit cards and is now having problems herself. Karen
