Does anyone know of any organizations that help you with financial aid? I have literally called at least 15-20 places and got know where.

There really needs to be more available for rent/mortgage, utility & insurance $$$ Help. This is where so many women have a hardship and are forced to keep working through active treatment just to be able to pay their bills.

A lot of the problems have to do with the depletion of funds. If certain monies are allocated via government or rely on fundraising and donations, we are at that half year mark when everyone is running out of funds.
