I'm a writer as well and I know it can be tough going. I don't have time (oddly) to write a lot to you at this moment, but I have some suggestions. With that said, I'm leaving my email address for you to contact me.
Also, here is the site of an organization that I think could be a big help to you: (link below)
An excerpt from their front page:
"ASSISTANCE FROM WeAreAlive™!
WHO IS ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE FOR?
Assistance is available from WeAreAlive™ for the benefit of individuals who; 1) have a terminal illness or severe chronic illness that is an ongoing serious disability, 2) have a lack of adequate financial resources and assets after reasonable and necessary living expenses, 3) are unable to get the necessary assistance from a government agency or a charity who has assistance specific to their need or their illness, 4) who have a valid need that qualifies under the program and guidelines of WeAreAlive™, and 5) are residents of the United States with a social security number and valid state or federal picture ID or U.S. passport.
Assistance does not depend upon age or the type of illness."
