Hi Suzanne,
That sounds horrible. We are going to send you a couple options, one is here which is a list of Cherokee County programs for help.
But you were abused - even if by sister. So of course notify the authorities. But also Try the Women Center of Texas which is for women that were abused. Maybe they can help and the info is here https://www.wc-et.org/

Since then, I have basically been in survival mode. I have found that Rusk, TX or ANYWHERE IN CHEROKEE COUNTY is the only Section 8 Housing Authority taking Applications and I want to move there and start over. I've got the application and sent off all the necessary documents to validate the application. I have also been looking at home.
It has come to my attention that 1) I won't have any money for down payments on a rent place or utilities should I receive the vouchers or a way to pay my utilities regularly and 2) I don't have a way to pack, load, drive, unload, unpack my things. I'm just not physically able. I'm often with a walker and if it's a long way I have a power chair. Sometimes I walk by myself. Either way I'm not physically capable of moving. Finally, 3) should the rent place need a frig washer or dryer I don't have one and can't afford one.
I know I'm in a big pickle so to speak. I'm trying not to feel defeated, it's just all so overwhelming.
I pray that you can help me. If not all some is greatly appreciated. Right now, I just don't know where to turn.
Currently I receive SNAP, MEDICAID, AND SSI DISABILITY.
Merry Christmas!!
