and which can wait. Of course, good handymen are hard to find. Your friend sounds depressed and maybe if that could be taken care of, the repairs would fall into place. On the other hand, she may be a candidate for a CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community) if her health and finances permit, or a nice Independent Living or Senior rental apartment and saying goodbye to these issues entirely.
