I feel sorry for her and I am scared for her. She has not let anyone into her house for appoximately 6 years. Not her son her friends or other family. I believe she had a drinking problem. We lost a son 16 years ago (my stepson) in a horrific accident in the home she is living in. I believe she is a hoarder. She was never a good housekeeper; actually just terrible, I was in the house years ago. I think everything has spiraled out of control on her. Her son won't even go to the house. She won't answer the door. He's afraid of what he will find and doesn't want to deal with the problem. What can be done to get this woman some help are there any agencies we can get involved. I would go there myself I really like this woman but I live 1400 miles away. Please any suggestions?
Thank you for listening to me ramble.
Sincerely
John P.
You might also check the state of NY's website to see if there's a NY agency or department that helps the disabled. Have you applied for a Bridge Card (in Michigan that's what's provided in lieu of "food stamps").
There are some posters here who are NY'ers who might stop by and offer some insight on what can help you.
Warm Regards
John
