Perhaps, I should elaborate more. The people, two of them, that I am talking about live off Social Security because of their disabilities. They get just a few dollars from the state for food a month. 90% of the money that they get from the state they use to pay their rent. Due to their behaviors they are required to live alone, and are unable to have roommates to relieve some of their financial burden.
These people are in desperate need of essentials such as:
Food, winter clothing, curtains, free activities in the community for disabled, even some money for toys.

I think this would be easier for you to search through, more to go through but more choices.
