Thanks ladies.
I have tried the local school dist. and they refused to take her since she was 18, not native to the area and we're not her legal guardians. She was doing a correspondence high school, but since she hasn't had money to pay her monthly fees, they've quit sending her work. We can't afford to pay it for her and her parents won't.


I talked this morning with the woman she lived with for the past year. She said Shannon was supposed to have paid rent and helped with housework and such, which she hadn't been doing, so she refuses to take her back either. Shannon and her daughter, who has since moved out to live in a different state, were close friends.

Katie and Shannon have become good friends, so Katie is willing to help her out. Katie has been invited to move in with a male friend who was recently given a house in town, so she said she can ask if they'd mind Shannon moving in too. It's a 5 bedroom house, so is big enough, but of course she'd have to find a job to support herself there too. It would at least be a place for her to live until she can get her self together. I hope it works, but have no clue how it will end. I only know I dread this, as I know it's going to be hard for all of us.
