This was very sad to read. I was wondering why - given the fact that she has a car - she doesn't drive for Lyft or Uber. Maybe it is because her car is filled with her living stuff, or hygiene reasons. These are assumptions that might not be true. Let's assume that she is able to meet the qualifications of a driver. Would Uber and Lyft block her application because she doesn't have a home? I wonder if this is something the Ubers / Lyfts can do - employing homeless drivers - to help people get back on their feet.

This, even if possible, would quickly kill her car and make her additionally homeless. Uber and Lyft drivers not in premium service are not paid enough to get maintenance. Also, an older person requires often psychological and technical checks to see if they still can drive at all. In EU those are mandatory after 60 years to keep your licence at all, earlier in pro drivers.
