Can't stand up. Need to cash paycheck. Have no help.
Can't get to a doctor. Being sick and alone sucks. Even with a roommate I'm alone.

(440 posts)Find your local Area Agency on Aging. They can point you toward resources for seniors in your area including transportation options for medical appointments.
Also ask about talking to an options counselor at your local ADRC, the Aging and Disability Resource Center.

Once you have funds deposited, get an Uber, Lyft or taxi to the dr.
Hang in there. Download your bank's e-deposit app asap. It's very simple
