Help becoming independent

If she has health problems she may qualify for disability. I would have her check with her doctor to see if this is something that can be why she is unable to get out and get work. I would also help her get her GED that may make her feel a bit better. There are lots of little things she can do to start getting money. Cleaning someones house or doing yard work if her medical issues allow that. If not maybe she can do some babysitting after school or on the weekends to earn a little money. Once she starts seeing that with work comes money it may motivate her. Again the first thing I would do is see if the medical issues are disabling her and if so sign her up for social security disablity. Just an fyi it takes three times before they will approve it so she has to keep trying and then will be paid from the first application. I learned that when helping others apply. Good luck!!
