Hi,
My friend was just diagnosed with breast cancer. She has to have chemo and radiation. The problem is she doesn't have any sick days at work. She is single, no kids. So she'll be taking quite a bit of time off of work and won't be able to pay all her bills with the reduced pay. She lives in an apartment.
She lives in Florida near Clearwater/St. Petersburg. Does anyone know of agencies or places that she could get help with rent, food, utilites, etc....? I'd appreciate any information. All ideas or suggestions are very much welcome.
Thanks!
