I wish Marybel would have communicated with me more, but I think she dislikes asking for help.
As it turns out, she couldn't afford to pay her rent for March and was forced to leave. A friend / mechanic had convinced her the car was junk, and he was probably right. So, she sold the car to the junkyard for $100 and moved to place in Maryland.
She gets her kids up early and takes them on the metro (subway) to go to their school in Arlington, so they don't have to change schools.
A friend of hers is paying her to take care of her mom on the weekends, but this is very temporary -- only until they can find a nursing home for her.
Thankfully, someone sent her a check last week, but of course it went to her old address, so it will be delayed... I don't know how much, but I'm sure it will help.
Someone else thinks he may have a lead on a car for donation or $300.
I'm not sure if I should mail her a check or put money towards a car, but will do one or the other shortly.
I'm trying to find out when she gets her tax refund. This should help her a lot, at least for a few weeks.
Priority #1 -- Transportation
Priority #2 -- Job (assuming she has some money to get through till then)
