Normally I wouldn't use the forum for a question about an individual case, but I'm hoping something about this client's situation would qualify her for some sort of assistance or community resources. Anyone have any suggestions?
This woman is 45 yrs old, fleeing a domestic violence situation. She has obtained a temporary order of protection. Her children are grown and out of the home. She was living in Pekin and just moved in with her brother and his family in Tremont. She received brain damage from a domestic violence incident 5 yrs ago from the man she has the order on. Her brother has given her a max of 5 months to stay with them. She works 12 hrs/wk at a food pantry making 8.25/hr. Her head trauma has caused her to be on 9 prescriptions and her cognitive impairment is severe enough that she cannot work most jobs. She filed for disability 2 yrs ago and was denied. She will need housing and any other assistance she is eligible for. I had her apply for SNAP. She receives counseling services.
