tonih, what you describe is heart rending. What may be done?

1. Call the Social Security Administration (1 800 772 1213) to see if you are eligible for assistance because of your disabilities.

2. Call the South Carolina State Operator at 1-803-896-0000 to get directed to information about:

a. housing assistance;
b. food stamps;
c. job retraining for the disabled;
d. distance education (online classes for credit towards a degree);
e. any other assistance you may be entitled to.

Is there a local agency in your community that keeps a list of volunteers to contact when help is needed? If your city or county has one, sometimes there is volunteer work that may be done from home.

Have you talked to your counselor about your relationship with your daughter? Feeling all alone and essentially abandoned is overwhelming.

I hope that some of these suggestions help. Good luck.
