Government Housing Grant For Polio And Arthritis Disabled Woman To Save Home

by Susan Hale
(Independence, MO, USA)

I am a 58-year-old mother disabled by polio and now arthritis. I walk with leg braces and crutches. I have been married for 35 years.

I'm looking for a government housing grant or any type of assistance that would help me save my home.

As a child I spent a lot of time at Children's Mercy hospital where I had many surgeries for the polio.

The polio and the surgeries ultimately led to degenerative arthritis.

I lost my job in April 2011, and my arthritis prevents me from working any further.

My unemployment is ready to run out. I do not want to lose my house and have to move out. It is perfect for me and it's all I have left.

I have applied for social security disability and now I can only wait. But I cannot pay my bills or keep my house by just waiting.

My credit is not that good. I need help just to survive. I can no longer work.

I am on Lisinopril, Celexa and Arthrotec. I am finding it harder and harder to get around.

I have applied for Social Security Disability. I have been to their doctor. I'm just waiting for an answer.

My husband is a courier and his business is slowing down. He pays for what he can and that's just to try to keep us ahead.

But we are just not making it. I have applied for Medicaid and Food Stamps. But that takes time also.

I am looking just for some help to pay bills. My dream is to pay my house off. That is the most important help I would like.

My husband's health is not good but he continues to work. I just can't seem to get ahead.

Our mortgage company does not seem to want to help. Help me stay in my house. That is the most important thing.

A government housing grant or any type of assistance would be so appreciated.
