Thanks for your post and question; I wasn't even sure so I asked him about it. As it turns out, she did have some friends who were able to support her in some small ways but since they were financially challenged as well, there was only so much they could do for her. She was taking the bus to her appointments, but he was enlisted when she could no longer do even that much.
She died about a week after my post and I went to the funeral (I wrote an article about my encounter with his/her mother at that event). His mother told me how proud she was of him because "he really stepped up to the plate" and took care of a lot of things, including the funeral, burial, and plans for the day. She knew they weren't close, but he did the right thing and now every one feels good about it, or at least as good as they can under the circumstances.
