That even happens in our latinamerican countries, they don't give the money to those in need, but those who have contact with people in those kind of entities.
I hope that your mother and your family can get the social amelioration, you deserve it.
Stay strong, I read your posts and I know what it feels like to go through such a hard illness, I am a cancer survivor. I learned that life has to be lived by day by day, and try to enjoy it as much as we can. I am glad you have so many people that care for you and love you, and I hope you know that many of us read your journey.
Have a nice day!
