<prompt> Human: Very recently my mother suffered a cardiac arrest and was hospitalized. The neurologist says that there is a small possibility that she will come back from her coma. So Im just preparing for the worst. My mother brought in most of the income and provided for everything. My three siblings range from 20 years of age to 16 years of age. So now we have only two sources of income: my fathers trucking job and my sisters summer job. Both of these jobs wont be able to cover our expenses. These two jobs will roughly bring in 3,000 a month. I graduated two days ago with a Bachelors in accountancy so I will be actively searching for a job to help pay for all the expenses. Our current expenses are mortgage, utility, university tuition, car insurance, car payments, phoneinternet expenses and foodclothes. The remaining mortgage is about 80,000, the semester tuition for my siblings is roughly 6,000 per semester, the annual car insurance for our family is 8,000, the annual utility is roughly 1,000, the phoneinternet cost is about 1,200. If we stretch 300 on food for a month our annual food costs would be 3,600. What do I do from this point on? How do I finance correctly to cover all these costs? Edit: Thank you everyone who contributed and offered their advice on this matter. I greatly appreciate it and will apply all of the good advice given to me. Thanks again.  <response>: Im sorry for your mothers health issues. Be cautious of making hasty decisions while you are grieving.Contact the hospital social worker for help navigating your mothers potential benefits. Minor children under 18 or in high school and younger than 19 are eligible for social security insurance survivors benefit payments Your mother is likely eligible for social security disability if she survives the coma and is disabled. Contact her employer to determine what benefit options they offer. They may provide disability insurance payments.Your siblings in college should contact the financial aid office to discuss the change in the family financial situation and determine what aid is available. Perhaps there are work-study positions available. Also this is prime time for college students to find summer jobs. Consider a residential position where food and lodging are paid for and there are no transport costs; these are often available at resorts or summer camps.Your siblings in high school should contact the school guidance office to determine what community options are available.Consider counseling for your family, often employers offer EAP and it sounds like your moms employer might. Contact her workplace for help connecting with them.You may be in a position where people ask to help through your church, community organizations, etc. Dont be afraid to accept help. Consider starting a fund collection site like go fund me etc., to which you can direct interested parties; people can be generous with help paying medical bills and childrens educational expenses. PS Dont post the charitable funds link on this subreddit, thats against the rules here. If you have a site set up you can tell it to people who say they want to help but dont know how.Good luck to your family.
