Don't you mean that your father is disabled and he can't work.  If you are able bodied then certainly you can work.  Every state has programs run by Social and Health Services for the disabled.  Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid are other programs.  Personal care providers are one of those service.  You could also be a paid care provider if your father qualifies for one.  One person being disabled never causes another to be unable to work

Try getting a student loan or financial assistance from the government.

There are food banks? Food Stamps? Housing assistance, Heating / Electric assistance programs. Most of which you would have to qualify for? Most programs have had high demand & cutbacks. I would suggest you look for a second job & bail yourself out.

if you have the money you could hire someone just to do odd jobs for you and sometimes when people are ill with cancer the cancer society will take them to all their appts. and all you have to do is call the society in your town and fill out a form..they will also help you to get medicine and whatever you need for your father..I know because my father had liver cancer and we live in a very small town and they helped us..he only lived 6 months..it is hard when we have elderly parents and we have no help, and we have our own problems..medicare and social services may be able to direct you to some help or hospice could help you if your parent is terminal..there is help out there you just have to look for it...call the hospice center and they can direct you even if he is not terminal...good luck I know your pain and i have two sisters who would not help at all when Dad was dying...and i have muscular dystrophy...so i understand!!!....////////

If all this is true, isn't there a homeless shelter near you? \nOr, can social services help you further?? \nIs there family to help/live with?? Friends?? \nIsn't there housing specifically for the disabled wherever you are??\nWhere are you from exactly? And what's your disability??\nWhat computer are you on if this is your current situation??\nI'm sure there are more resources to help you, you just have to find them. You do get a little bit of money, but there has to be housing available as well. Things will get better, keep seeking out assistance and don't be afraid to go to friends & family for further help!\n\nBest of luck to you!

go to Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. They will help.

Contact Social Services asap, they WILL be able to help you, even the very same day in most cases, especially as you are also becoming ill and stressed with all the pressure being put on you. CPN's are not very good in my experience (I have had a lot of experience)

Contact your local social services.... they might be able to help you...that was how I got my job babysitting for low income families on the aspire program. It might be different state to state, but I am sure they will probably be able to steer you in the right direction. Good Luck.

Call your department of public aid...often they offer assistance for low income individuals/ families

Sorry to hear about your current situation. :( \n\nThe first thing I would do is figure out what city/town/state services are available to you. There is a lot of assistance with housing/food/child care/employment/legal fees/ECT. Your state government must have public welfare/need offices around the area. I would just go in, explain your situation and apply for aid. This is what welfare is supposed to be for, someone who is in immediate need of financial help for a temporary time. They also assist you in going to college if you are interested in that. \nI think you are very courageous to leave him. You only live once, so might as well be happy. Not staying with a person addicted to gambling, drinking, and spending money. Good luck. Feel free to email if you have any questions. \n:)

I am assuming family is not an option.  If you do have family somewhere, even grandparents or aunts and uncles, try them first.\n\nDon't try to borrow more.  Look for grants, or work study programs that can generate some income for you.  If necessary, take some time away from school to work and build up a little savings.\n\nChurches can help, and so can some community agencies.  I assume you are female--that will help you.  If you are minority that helps even more.\n\nGood luck, God bless and don't give up.  I know you aren't a dumbass--even smart people occasionally make poor choices, and even when they make good choices they don't always work out.

Your state should have a legal aid helpline.  Not sure where you live but do a Yahoo! search and type in your state's name and legal help and you should be able to find something there.  They might be able to give you advice for free because of your limited income.

You could ask a child support attorney. If your father is such a deadbeat that he hasn't paid in all this time I doubt he'll pay now though. Your father is scum, be glad he isn't in your life if he isn't.
