I have a friend who just had surgery and is off work for a few weeks,she has 2 young kids and her ex husband is not currently paying child support. Her employer does not give sick pay. She can't receive unemployment because this is temporary. But she is having a hard time paying bills, I am looking for some resources in southwestern PA to refer her to. I can't help her much because I have 2 kids of my own (1 in college!). Any information is greatly appreciated.

Have her get in touch with a social worker. Pa has programs for situations like this.

You can get help at local organizations, depending on funding that is available in your county. Community Action, Salvation Army and of coarse you could have her contact the state for some help or domestic relations would prob be a good start, not that always does much...
