I sympathize with her. The anxiety + disability of serious disease is a dreadful thing; the inability to pay for care makes it 10x worse; being threatened with legal penalties for trying to do the one thing she
can do, makes it just excrucating.
So she's got one neighbor that complained? Perhaps she's now got 10 or 15 neighbors (or friends or newly aware fellow-citizens) who sympathize with her. They could chip in by sponsoring her sales in their own backyards (on a rotating basis, as it were) or help her market on eBay. Or introduce her to some medical charity foundation. There must be some way this can accrue to her benefit.

It sounds like Multiple Myeloma. It is a terible disease. There are 10,000 people diagnosed per year and 40,000 survivors. Average survival is about 24 months without treatment. An xray of a person with disease looks like someone took a drill and put holes in all the bones. It weakens the bones to the point where a simple movement can cause a break. Treatment can include thalidomide and stem cell transplants. Peter Boyle, Roy Scheider and Geraldine_Ferraro were victims.
