My dad fell at work and had surgery, the job had no ins. he has an atny but not sure if he will get anything. that does not help now. he has lost that income. They are losing their home of 30 years. they do not have much educ. and my mom is diabetic and can only get 45.00 a mo disab. They are very depressed. daddy is 70 and momma is 60 cant get ssi yet. DHS is not much help they are on waiting list everywhere. How do we get people help like this. they wont be on the streets I will let them live with me but I do not have a lot. Where do you get emergency help. The churches seem to be no help but just very temp. They are very proud people, who have worked all their lives that are now unable to work. They only have a 6th grade education. so labor is all that is avaliabe to them. momma can not work she has neuropathay and daddy with just having surgery. These employers really did a number on him by not having insurance. The sad part is loosing the home we all lived in for 30 years. SAD!!

have him write a letter to the hospital and also the maker of your moms medecine. Include ptroof of income. Maybe last years tax form and proof of unemployment. alot of medicine companies will supply medicine free or cheaper for those in need. I hospital will forgive debt (the bills) for people on low or no income or reduce it. If he has stacks of hospital bills. If he gets money from the Company the hospital will want to get paid but until than they may forgive it. I do not understand why your father can not get social security yet ? If he is waiting until he turns 72 to get more a month that is wrong. what he will lose these two years waiting is more than he will make up later.
He should also be able to get Medicare but I am not sure about your mother.
For the home is he has enough equity he could get a reverse mortgage. basically the bank pays them a bit every month and it gets tacked on to what they owe the bank when they die. The problem is if you can not pay the bank back when they pass away the bank gets the house and you lose it. So say your folks own a 100,000 home and have 50,000 in equity. the bank will say ok we will give you 40,000 and you are expected to live 10 years so we will give you 4,000 a year and you can live in the house also until you die. there fore in 10 years they pass and the bank either gets the original 50,000 plus the 40,000 and interest from you or they get the house and sale it and get their money back

Consider looking into a reverse mortgage. This will pay your parent a lump sum for their home and allow them to stay in the home during their retirement. You have to follow this by a case by case basis. See an attorney and a mortgage broker who specialize in these things.
It is not fo everyone, but it may save the house and put the needed cash in their pockets.

Get in touch with their Dr. Get any Government help you can apply for and start now! I'm sure they're eligible for Medicaid and Dad for sure can get Medicare. Mom can get help with her diabetic supplies and meds--your local hospital should be able to help you with that. Most employers have to carry Worker's Comp. What state do you live in??

I don't know how much this will help but they can probably get Meals on Wheels, which will at least give them five hot lunches a week.
Can either of them do any handicrafts or other things to make money?
