Help For Mom

I am trying to help my mother as much as i can but it is hard to do so on a min. wage job I am barely making it and i give my mother as much as i can to help her out. My father passed away on June 2, 2013 leaving my mother with 260,000.00 plus in bills. She was told she would have to pay all the bills imediately that were in my fathers name which is 25,000. She is on SSA and 76 years old. My mother would never ask a hand out.So i am hoping there are some kind hearted people that could relieve this stress of wondering how to pay all this at her age. My mom can not work right now she has COPD and no my mother does not smoke she never smoked a day in her life she got it from being around my uncle and aunt when they lived with her they were a 3 carton a week smokers.

While i would love to surprise my mother and have the whole 260,000 paid off for her anything at all to clear the 25,000 would gravely be appreciated. So if you are able to help out I appreciate it.
