Neuropathy Disabled Widow Seeking Grant Money For Handicap Vehicle

by Kathryn
(Lucedale, MS, USA)

I am a 61-year-old woman. I have been a widow for three years and still miss him very much.

I have two children: a son and a disabled daughter. I also have a wonderful daughter-in-law and three beautiful grandsons.

I have neuropathy of the feet, legs and hands. Back surgeries have added complications.

I have had Type 1 diabetes for 48 years.

I have fallen several times and broken four ribs, bruised ribs, and broken leg. All these breaks were due to the neuropathy.

These complications started in 2008 when I could not work anymore. I have been receiving disability since February 2011

I'm having a hard time meeting housing expenses. I can't work due the physical handicaps. I am using an electrical wheelchair.

I use an insulin pump, thyroid medication and mental health meds for osteoporosis, celiac sprue, calcium deficiency and asthma.

I am on widow's disability. I have tried different work-at-home jobs, answering surveys, trying for grants.

I need grants or any kind of help for a handicap vehicle, housing, utilities and medical equipment.
