58-Year-Old Disabled Widow Seeks Government Grant For Mother-In-Law Suite

by Janie Adcock
(Concord, NC, USA)

I am a 58-year-old widow with myelodysplastic syndrome. I have lived alone for as long as I can. I am now to the point that I spend most of my day in bed, as I am so weak.

I must go weekly for blood tests and monthly transfusions. I have become allergic to the treatments that I was taking so for now I am not taking anything.

I have had to move in with my daughter and her family and her house is so small that we are all under each other.

They want to build me a separate suite so that I can have not only some privacy but I can feel independent to an extent.

They do have room in the back yard. They would like to build me a master suite with a larger than normal walk-in shower so I can use a chair. A kitchen would be nice but not necessary.

A refrigerator and counter and cabinets would be great as I need to keep some medicines cold and I would not to go into the kitchen and potentially wake anyone up.

I will have to live with my daughter for the remainder of my life and having my own "place" would be a blessing. They have two children and I am taking my granddaughter's room now and that is not acceptable at all.

They have financial problems so if I could get a grant to do the remodeling to the house it would be best.

If there is anyone who can help us to accomplish our goal I would like to hear from you very much.

Your story is exactly what setup I was thinking we need for my 54 year old dad with multiple sclerosis. I have searched endlessly the past few weeks for assisted living that is appropirate for someone in their 50s who just needs the extra help, but it's sad the lack of availability. I wish you luck!
