I take care of my hero and best friend ( Dad ). He is in the end stages of COPD. The last 3 years have been trying at times, but worth it. I haven't been able to work for 2 years now needless to say I'm about to loss what little I do have. My daughter is going into the Air Force after graduation this year and I have my baby boy age 4 in june. everyone I see (at the store, only place i go) asks if I get financial help on caring for my Dad I tell them no. They all say I can get paid for this but no one can tell me how or where to go. Can anyone help me with this?
Thank You,
Daddy's Girl
