Guter Rat Do I have to take in my brother's wife?

So, the situation goes like this. My half brother got married last year to this woman he met through a foreign marriage agency. Granted, he and I were never really close, but we are the only family we’ve got. Long story short, the woman moved here in the US and doesn’t have any family or friends here.

My half brother died a month ago from stroke, so she’s left alone in a foreign country. He wasn’t well off by any means, so he didn’t really leave much for her. She can hardly speak decent English too, so I imagine it’s hard for her to get a job. My question is, am I legally required to take her in?
