Help Urgently Needed

Whilst preserving the anonymity of the individual concerned, here's the reality of what is a very difficult and delicate situation. A woman is recovering from an abusive history; so abusive that she is suffering with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
For years she cares for her husband who has Multiple Sclerosis. The small savings pot they had accumulated becomes rapidly depleted by unavoidable medical bills.
Her husband dies and her reason for being and daily purpose are shattered. With the savings gone, she can no longer afford the mortgage repayments.
The acute nature of the PTSD means that "“ despite her intelligence and ability "“ it is not viable for her to hold down a regular job and generate a consistent income.
Further complications relating to confusing state benefits mean that statutory welfare benefits are not forthcoming.
The bank starts to get increasingly less tolerant and they send representatives to her house explaining that it must be repossessed.
The remaining "˜family' that she has are two cats and a dog that she rescued from a shelter; their companionship which has meant so much is jeopardized by the likely loss of the home, exacerbating her underlying mental health issues.
It seems likely now that she will lose her house, but friends are rallying round to see whether they can work out a way in which she might be able to move into an apartment and get to keep her pets.
The money raised will alleviate pressure on her day to day life, which has been difficult and troubled for so long. It will enable her to stay with her animals, pay regular bills for groceries and utilities and just to stay afloat.
We completely appreciate that there are many others in the world faced with appalling sets of circumstances, and many incredible people doing fantastic work to alleviate as far as possible their sufferings.
To be clear, we are not attempting to subjectively decide this is a more deserving case than any other; but it is one that has concerns a dear friend, much loved by many who feel powerless in their inability to help.
Thank you.
