Wife Of Disabled Husband Seeks Grant Money For Medical Debt Relief
by Samantha
In September of 2009, Eric was in an accident that left him paralyzed. This life altering accident has not stopped us from trying to make the best of what we face I life. Recently Eric was denied Medicaid because Social Services told us his disability income was too much. Considering we can't pay are bills with what income we do have, I was shocked. His medical expenses are very high and I am afraid of what life will be like in the months to come. I have the choice to pay for medical supplies or rent and food. I am unable to work because Eric needs care around the clock. He cannot move his legs, feet, hands, or fingers. He needs help with every daily living activity there is. Eric also suffers from Autonomic Dysreflexia, which results in headaches, sweating, and very high blood pressure. This happens at least twice a week. We need help with medical supplies and some kind of transportation. We cannot go out with my husband because we do not have a van big enough for his wheelchair. Our family adventures are limited to our singlewide trailer and the yard around us. My family and I are looking for a grant that helps out a family with a disabled parent and low income.
