Monicau, As I live in the US, I am figuring out what you are talking about regarding taxes, ect. You have to be at poverty level and with dependants to get any help here. Our healthcare is horrible. Very expensive and the coverage is bad. I live in a small town with a lot of elderly people (I will be 60 years old this month). As I lived in a big city until 4 years ago, it is amazing the number of services and volunteers that are offered here. I wish you were here!!! You can use the services if you are over 55. I have to tell you about my first GA meeting. The controller person had me read aloud out of the GA handbook and asked me questions. It was all about me. I was mortified! At the break, one of the women there suggested that I find another meeting to go to as they had all been together a long time and were set in their ways. I jumped into my car and sped out of there! It took me a long time before I could muster the courage to go to another one. There are no meetings here. I read self help books and come to GT. I hope your situation improves for you soon!!
