50 Year Old Disabled Man Seeks Aid For Debt Relief And Power Wheelchair

Hello, my name is Braulio Negron. I am a 50-year-old man and have been on disability for 20 years. I'm looking for a grant to get a power wheelchair and for debt relief in general.

I have muscle myopathy for which there is no cure. I also have high blood pressure, sleep apnea, morbid obesity, back problems, diabetes and depression. I'm limited in walking and I'm constantly falling.

I have tried to have surgery done to help me and I keep getting denied. I have tried to get approved for a power wheelchair and I keep getting denied.

I keep falling down scraping my legs and arms. Once I fell in the middle of a busy street and had to crawl across the street and hang on to a parked car so that I could lift myself up because no one would help.

Anyway I need financial help. I am married and we own a home. My wife was working and she got laid off one week before Christmas. She is now collecting unemployment, but it is about to run out.

Bills are piling up and we can't file for bankruptcy because we already filed back in 2009.

If anyone can help us with our financial problems and getting a power wheelchair, we would very much appreciate it.
