Hi there folks, I'm a 65 year old woman with a husband that has Parkinson's, Vascular Dementia, Diabetes, & Arthritis.
And we don't have Power of Attorney set up & now its too late.
I am not coping with my life as it is nowadays, as he's been put into a Home & all our money seems to be going to pay for it, leaving me with next to nothing .
