Message: <blockquote data-quote="RichCsigs" data-source="post: 4952730" data-attributes="member: 19690">We're about to lose our house.  Let me give you the details.My brother, his two sons and myself all eventually moved back in with my mom for various financial reasons.  Over the years my mother's health got worse, to the point where she rarely got out of bed anymore (due to arthritic pain in her hips & knees).Back in July my mother got sick and had to go to the hospital.  When she left the hospital her doctor put her into a short term care facility.  During this time, the decision was made to move her to long term care.  The problem is paying for it.We are poor and need government assistance for this, which requires us losing the house first.  It's not a problem for me (I have a friend who is going to rent me a room real cheap), but it is for my brother.  His eldest child has <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDD-NOS" target="_blank">PDD-NOS</a> and takes part in a special education/job shadow program through the high school.  The school has already told my brother that they would let his son finish out the year if he moved out of the city (it's his last anyway) but the city would no longer take care of his transportation.  Rent is higher in our current city than in neighboring towns/cities.  Also, our city has been filling up the past few years, and 3br places are getting harder to find (suburb type city close to major business cities).So, what I'm asking is this: Does anyone have any idea how we can pay for my mother's care without losing the house, at least until the end of the current school year?  Any help would be appreciated.</blockquote>
