I'm trying to find out if there is any way to keep my bedridden mom's debt collectors at bay. I lost my job around xmas, pretty sh*tty that I got laid off for taking care of my dying mother. Anyhow, I would rather work when I can than collect UI. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever been in a situation where they had to spend all their time caring for a sick parent, and pay their bills as well as their own. Is their any temporary relief I'm unaware of?

That's rough, man.
Bankruptcy is about the only thing that will stop debt collectors, but if her health is that bad, it may not be worth the effort.
Good luck, regardless.

My best friend's mom was terminally ill due to cancer last year. He got a bursary from his house at the university for about 2000$. If you're a student, it's probably the best thing to do.

I feel you brother. I've been dealing with my father's Alzheimers and dementia for almost 5 years now.

If it's any consolation, i'm going through something similar. My mom has a condition of the nerves where her muscles basically give her pain all the time.
She can't work because of this and I've been looking for a job for 6 months but no one wants to recruit a 16 year old with no experience, especially with the way the economy is.
