This client is currently in a situation where she doesn't have many options to turn to. She is a hardworking, capable community member who has a stable job in Sandpoint. She was diagnosed with a precancerous tumor on her pancreas and told she needs to get surgery or it may develop into fatal pancreatic cancer. Her employer does not offer PTO or insurance benefits, so she has to take 6 weeks off unpaid. She is trying to get all her ducks in a row for the 6 weeks she will not be able to work. She makes too much money for things like food stamps and TAFI. She lives with her elderly mother and she doesn't qualify for other assistance programs because she doesn't have minor children at home. She also can't file for unemployment because she is taking a leave of absence for her surgery, even though it is unpaid, so she will have work available when she returns. In sum, there are no short-term disability options available to her and she is trying to find short term assistance to stay financially stable while she recovers from surgery. She is requesting help with rent or utilities for the months of March and April. Her rent is $1,300, but anything helps.
