I am helpless

My daughter is going through so much right now. She is in a homeless shelter, having been locked out of the apartment by her former partner. She has severe health problems and she finally realized a couple of months ago that she is an alcoholic (as is her former partner) She has been going to AA and trying to keep going to school where she has a scholarship. She wants to stop living and I am so afraid for her. She won't come to stay with me. She has a court date with the former partner in Dec and she is very frightened it will go badly. I am thinking of going to NY and finding a place where I can stay for a month and try to help her through this. It won't be easy financially but I have to do something. If I was there I could help her with trying to get food stamps and maybe SSI . Red Tape is so hard for her. She is on Crutches and in constant pain .
Will I be enabling her disease or helping her?
