Homeless after caring for parents

Donation protected
For many years I was a caregiver to my dad and stepmother.  My dad has Alzheimers/dimentia and my stepmother is paralyzed from a brain aneurysm .  Last year I was informed by the Geneolgical Institute that my dad (if he proved who he was) was related to someone that owed him an inheritance.  I informed them that my dad has Alzheimers and can't speak well they appointed me to set up for this and he received a large inheritance of $250k.  My dad trusted me to pay off his huge hospital bills, debts, vehicles, and to hold on to the rest.  While my dad was at the bank doing a routine atm stop they noticed his behavior like he forgot his pin so after looking through his account they saw a large transfer to me.  This got the police, Adult Protective Services, and the bank contacted an estate management company to get involved.  They told me I wasn't allowed to do anything about the situation.  After many months of proving that I have power of attorney, did nothing wrong and never got charged with anything I was only helping out my dad.  The estate management company became guardian of my dad and stepmom and upon my dads disease being progressive after these many months they spent most of the inheritance on themselves.  Please understand I want my parents to be taken care of.  What I do not agree with is the more than $75k for their own court costs and fees of which I only have been shown very little of.  The caregivers get $12 an hr which is completely reasonable.  My biggest problem is I have no where to live, I gave up every penny of the inheritance.  I was given no notice or means to take care of myself.  I have no other family they are all dead or I dont know where they are.  I have been bouncing around since May sleeping on ppls couches.  I have had stuff stolen or ruined.  I have been attacked by men and got hurt.  I have slept in my car.  I have applied to countless jobs temporary and otherwise.  I have exhausted, given away, sold, everything I have but my car.  My car is too old to work for Uber or Lyft.  To top it off the man I was going to marry is in another country and got into an accident and just woke up from a coma and doesn't remember who I am (so far anyway).  My life has become a complete nightmare due to this inheritance and to greedy people who took advantage of a senior couple who well deserve proper care.  I have lived an honest life and willing to work hard.  I just need to be able to have somewhere I can safely sleep at night other than a shelter or my car.  I appreciate any and all contributions of starting over my life.  If you have any questions I would be gladly to answer them.  I do not want other seniors and disabled people to get taken advantage of like my parents did.  Please help and thank you
