Disabled Seniors Seek Government Housing Grant To Keep Home
by Dennis
(Maryland, USA)
Hello to all. My name is Dennis. I contracted Polio at age two back in 1949. I was able to live my life in spite of it, but now it's come back in another form.
The disease hospitalized me for two years as a child with several surgeries and many years of physical therapy until the doctors finally threw in the towel.
I was left with a 90% paralyzed left arm. I have recently been diagnosed with PPS (post polio syndrome). It seems so ironic to overcome a handicap through most of your adult life and then have the original disease come back to haunt you in your later years.
My wife is disabled due to a severe brain aneurism. We're both trying to survive on our Social Security but with the ever-rising cost of living and our home in drastic need of repairs I am afraid we will not be able to keep our home.
If anyone knows of a grant to help disabled seniors keep their home please let us know. Thanks to all and God bless.
