In the case mentioned above, say the person was not mentally disabled, but just low income with that same amount of money flowing in. In the first place, I know the laws sometimes prevent this, but she should share the trailer with two other people, even if it means bunk beds, sofa beds etc. Now she is paying $200 about in utilities and rent. Hopefully one of them could drive and the others pay for gas and rides. If they each get $40 a month in food stamps, that is $120 for 3 people. Hopefully one can cook. I wish there were more surplus food programs, but I hope they have oats frequently and lentils and nourishing soups and have room for a few carrots and peas in the garden. Maybe one can cut hair and barter with other people in the trailer park for moose someone has shot, or fish they have caught. For fun they go to a garage sale now and then and gradually get some nicer furniture and curtains and fix the place up a bit. They plant a rose bush by the door which they bartered for some child care and some tulips which they bartered for painting a shed. I would live that way myself...and expect that I might have to some day...mg
