Depending on where she lives, the United Way may have a bank of agencies that can help with rent and the like. She needs to get with the local Legal Aid program to work on the custody thing, too. Applying for public assistance and TANF can be done online in many states. Here in Florida, most of it is run through the Department of Children and Families. It's a pain in the ass and can be humiliating sometimes, depending on the worker, but if she can swallow a little pride, it can be worth it. Just fair warning... about some of the workers, I just hate people going in for legitimately needed help and being treated like f-ups. I wish her luck.
