Marion,
What state does shelly live in?
I know for a fact that State Grants are available.
If someone wanted to take up the banner for Shelly - you can write her district representative stating that she is without heat during the winter season.
A federal law mandates that "no one is to be without heat during the winter season." The Gas company will have to TURN her gas ON - and work out payments with her family.
Also, churches have food pantries and will offer job network contacts for her.
She could start her own business 'cleaning houses', or list an ad in her local newspaper stating she is available for 'freelance' work.
Sometimes people are looking for folks to do their typing, resumes, books, pamphlets, newsletter, etc.
If that is not appealing she could work from a temp agency - "Labor Ready, etc.," until she gains a more profitable position.
The temp agencies pay you at the end of the day the hours you have worked - cash.
She can look online for her local newspaper the 'want ads' are generally posted every week(I'm sure she is already).
I'm not sure any of these suggestions are helpful...but if I can be of help just...shout! -;)
Your friend in Christ,
