Another Piece of My Heart Broken

 I just had a lengthy convo with my oldest friend. Like us she is in the over 60 crowd and living alone. She buried both her mother and her sister in the last year and since her mother had a reverse mortgage, she had to sell the house. With what little money she got from that she rented a nice home for herself, her dogs and cats and her 40something nephew. Needless to say the nephew skyed up and left her alone with all the expenses. He didn’t even take his clothes. She’s at a point that she can no longer afford cable tv and internet. I would be going crazy with the silence so I’m going to try to find out what resources are available for limited income elders. I suggested that she place an ad for a roommate in the medical school paper but she’s worried about an unknown person and her antiques. If any of you read this and know the answers already please drop me a line.
