In your situation I would probably try to learn programming.
- You can start at home, little entry barrier
- resources are found online
- good programmers have huge income potential including internationally
- are and will be in demand for the foreseeable future (with AI on the horizon maybe not as they are used now, but truly savvy people will be needed 100%)
- if you manage to write something useful on your own you can possibly license it out and generate income that way

Missed the part where he doesn't have a computer?

He has one that might break soon ish, but getting a cheap basic computer together is really somewhat affordable, and I would say the best feasible option for someone in that position:
Physical labor is out of the question, getting employed for something else requires prior qualification that he doesn’t have. The mental health issue will make of additionally difficult to be perceived as reliable.
So the best course of option is to either up his qualifications or go in business for himself, both would be (more) feasible this way.
