[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 123690, member: 2211"] You can check your state's welfare services. Everything Lisa said is true. There is low income housing or Section 8, which will pay almost all the rent or is considered subsidized housing should she choose to not live in a welfare community. She will be eligible for WIC up to a certain point after the baby is born, but usually WIC is available until the child's 6th birthday. She will be eligible for food stamps and state health care as well. In most phone books there is a mid-section called the BLUE pages and it will have the name, numbers and addresses for all public assistance related organizations. She also can contact a women's shelter and ask them for resources in her area. She can also contact the YMCA and the YWCA and CAtholic Charities and her local church's outreach center for more resources. Has she discussed with you the possibility of giving the baby up for adoption? If she does, she will be wiping her slate clean and have a much better shot at a new life without the loser H and his wacked out family. I remember the story well also and can totally understand why you'd like to keep all her drama at arm's length. However, I do think it's GREAT that she's ready and willing to get away from him and his family. Sending warm and gentle hugs - I hope things work out for all. [/QUOTE]
