I'm guessing from the fact that your family is Mormon that you're American. You know that if you ever became homeless you would have access to food via food stamps, and to medication via Medicaid (your disability is clearly long-term and clearly limiting your earning potential, which is the criteria by which you qualify for Medicaid, as I understand it). There are also other medical programmes provided by states and by charities for homeless people.
"Faith is a state of openness or trust. To have faith is like when you trust yourself to the water. You don't grab hold of the water when you swim, because if you do you will become stiff and tight in the water, and sink. You have to relax, and the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging, and holding on. In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe becomes a person who has no faith at all. Instead they are holding tight. But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be."
