My idea was to pick up a night job, then when I could pick up a day job and grind it out for a year, as I currently pay $300- 0 for rent and food, but as I've looked into actually putting the plan into action, I'm seeing it is way more unlikely than once originally expected. 

Over them next 3 months they buy everything with that card, and I mean every thing from Food to gas to paying the water bill.

The household expenses (utilities, medical, transportation, food, clothes, childcare, pocket money etc.) total $2,000 per month.

Food for thought, because it is best when you and the owner are on the same page from the get go.

You need a functional bathroom, a place to cook minimalist food at least, and a place to sleep and escape the mess when needed.

More food for thought.

If she has food or water accessible, the mice may be attracted to her side.

Makes me think property manager failed you.Sounds like the pipes are being filled with grease and food from disposals and the tree roots already intruded as trees are alive drilling for water.If the trees are yours I would remove them.

There are some fair POVs and a lot of food for thought.
