She’s unemployable.
Her health conditions may likely qualify her for ODSP (Ontario disability), which is a bitch to get. People get denied usually, and by the time decisions are appealed and they get approved it’s over a year (to 2 years.) During the application process she may get OW (Ontario works aka welfare.)
Regardless, on ODSP the maximum amount is something like $1179 per month. And they are strict with reporting - any other sources of income, including cash gifts from family, must be reported and are clawed back from benefits.
Imagine Chantal trying to survive on that amount per month. Even if she had a free basement to live in at her uncle’s, she’d never make it.
