$300 certainly is not enough for three grown people. A 100 bucks s month isn’t enough. Food bank? I think you’d qualify.
I think I got confused because you said your husband’s mental health won’t allow him to use the stove so I wondered how he cooks. Mind you, one can cook without stove, it’s just a little hard. I still think that you need some type of care team to help all three of you to figure out some type of food routine. Do you have a walker or a cane to get around? With a Walker you might be able to move around. I have a tiny kitchen but I could squeeze Walker there if need to and hold on to it for balance |

We've tried a cane it's to unstable and a walker I can't push/control with one hand. He can use the stove. He can't go to the store it's too overwhelming.

We do use food banks. They have really good ones with fresh vegetables and fruit that they grow on top of the hospitals.

Oh my bad I thought you said he can’t use STOVE. Sounds like he can’t use stores.

Yeah I’d say someone with such limited use of legs (cannot walk to the kitchen by herself or shower) and with use of only one arm unable to even hold a plate would qualify for quite a few things. It’s pretty extreme. I’d look into it too. Good idea |

You have to be home bound here for meals on wheels here. T says to take the week off, contact my PCP (already did), get back on any medication, even if I have to call my unhelpful pdoc. Remember that most my stresses are out of my control.
