Is there any place ,any government help,any agency's ,any charities that will help a handicapped person?
a dear friend of mine is who i am trying to help
he is uses a electric wheelchair to get around and he has paralysis in his hands and they are in cupped position and he has it in his feet to,i myself am not able to get around well but i do try to help him when i can,he does some things on his own,but here is where i come in to ask many of you kind people on here to please direct me to any and all info i can gather that will help him.He is not able to make the necessary repairs on his mobile home that need to be done like fixing a broken window ,2 doors that do not lock,he needs a wheelchair ramp and list goes on,I have called H.U.D ,Habitat for humanity, They said because he lives in a mobile home they can not help him.I even sent emails to some local radio stations and churches about him,an they do not reply back My question is there has to be some sort of agency out there in like there that helps disabled people like him .Ive been trying for over 4 weeks doing research ,going to the library and reading and reading all i can .now my next step is to come here and ask everyone here so any info would be a Blessing .THANK YOU
You’re in the US? Sure. Tons…Start with Social Security. Check the phone book under government and then look up handicap and physical liimitation, physical challeng in the yellow pages. Among them, and asking questions of them, you should get some good leads.
The Government can be a big help, and then there are charity organizations.
If all else fails, send a really good sob story to Ty Pennington…and he might put your friend on tv, send you guys to Disney World, and fix up what you need and then some.
