Hello,
I am caught in an interesting situation. I do not qualify for SSI because I get SSDI. I do not get medicaid because I don't qualify for SSI. I will not get medicare for another year (2 year waiting period). My disability was caused by domestic violence, and I can not work. I was able to obtain a manual wheelchair from a local medical supply company that was going out of business and was giving away their used chairs. My challenge is that I need a wheelchair ramp built at my home so that I don't have to crawl up the stairs any longer. I also need a vehicle that can handle my wheelchair better than my VW. Right now I have to ask people in the parking lot to get my chair out for me and to put it back. Sometimes I have to wait a long time to get anyone to help. I am unable to pay all of my bills, let alone the new added expenses that have arose. I was able to get help with a divorce, so he is totally out of the picture. If anyone out there can help, or know of someone that can or of a website or information that I can use, I really appreciate the help. kathy nothomebychoice@yahoo.com
