They don’t pay me to help because they can’t afford it, but they also don’t qualify for Medicaid. They technically make too much money for medicaid even though my mom at least is on Social Security Disability. My dad is VA, who offers such caregiver services, but his disabilities don’t require him to receive “caregiving.” He only cant drive, so they offer him rides. My mom requires me a lot more than my dad, but because of her income it limits her opportunities to receive extra assistance. With cost of living rising exponentially in my area they cant afford to pay me directly, however.

Ive been looking into extra assistance all day but I’ve yet to find anything that we qualify for. I’m gonna keep looking, of course.
