My dad just died. We're very poor. He's been sick for a while but very sick for the last month and he hasn't had a source of income for years and didn't have enough "work credits" to qualify for disability or whatever. He was living in a roach-infested trailer that he built himself along with two homeless ex-cons he had taken in (who had nowhere to turn) that would be considered condemned if it were anywhere other than a remote rural area. He lived with my mother and my grandmother. My grandmother suffers from a severe case of paranoid schizophrenia and my poor mom was taking care of them both while working a very poorly compensated job, from which she had taken a break in recent times to care for him. Their only source of income aside from my grandmother's SSI is me, which isn't to say much.
The house and land are paid off. There are no savings. He was a lifelong alcoholic and he couldn't qualify for life insurance by the time it was deemed to be necessary. All that he asked was to be cremated and buried in the back yard alongside our Rottweiler.
What's next? What do I do? I'm sorry if I haven't given enough information. What information can I provide to better facilitate useful responses?
