Please, feel free to guide us to the place where my daughter can get shelter, heat, transportation, and job training in our area. I would happily send that directly to her so she didn’t have to worry about being on the streets! This isn’t available here...She gets medical and food assistance, she is not pregnant and therefore doesn’t qualify for shelter/transportation and job training (IE: Cash assistance) or even those items given without her getting money. Whether you believe me or not, my daughter needs prayers...does it hurt you to offer up a prayer...even if you THINK it might be for someone who doesn’t truly need it? In that case, the person could definitely use prayers, if they were lying to get prayers! Geesh...

From what I remember in an earlier thread you are in a smaller town. Both of you it seems have serious medical issues. You need shelter that is first. You need transportation. You need medical access.

You need to relocate ASAP to say Savannah or Atlanta or some nearby major city that has agencies and programs you both likely more than qualify for. First would be Section 8 housing for disabled. Yes most are first come first serve and list but certain agencies can step up that process. The second thing is in a bigger city the transportation issue is resolved as even many transit buses are not lift equipped.

Doing that and getting under one roof together pooling your resources is your way out for now. Have you tried for SSI? That is not the same thing as Disability and the standards for qualification are not near as strict and help is a matter of days not months down the road. The resources in smaller towns and communities are few and far between but both of you need those resources at least for your short term future.

You have my prayers. Both my wife and I are disabled. She is quad so I understand the need concerning wheelchairs. Our reality is if I didn't have my physical strength we'd be living in town in a rented handicap accessible apartment.
