It seems we all have a similar tale.  I'm 66 years old.  3 years ago I was a successful dentist with a great income and a great home.  Now after a stroke, I am unable to practice and have gone through all resources.  My SS disability barely covers just the bills and doesn't come close to mortgage payment.

I see all the posts, but no advice.  Any help anywhere? 

We are also in the same boat.My husband got bucked of a horse and broke his neck.Hes now a quad.It all started on sept.6th 09.Now hes home and disability only pays him 782.a month.Are house payment is 1087.a month.not includding any other bills.We are at april 9th and no other way to pay next months.We have 6 kids together.4 are his and 2are mine.My store could go on and on ...I know there are many more in are shoes too.We just got to keep going and keep praying

Frisco- 

Wow - I am in the same boat as you !!I am entering Forclosre as my Disability as well does not even cover my Mtg. payment !  Have you received any advise or help regarding your situation?  I do not know where to even turn to.  There has to be someone/some program that helps the disabled. Kindly let me know if you have made any progress.

Warm Regards,

Karin

I am in a smilar position but fortuntaley I am well, my husband has MS and he is cursing me and his mother is blaming me and we have to pay the rent and other utilities and I am looking for a job, he gets some monies. This is my cause and effect and I am changing it by believing that I did all these things and not blaming anyone just making different causes and I will get different effects.

I am a Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist and it is about the Mystic Law of Cause and Effect from time without beginning, that means we are responsible for all that we think, say and do it is about the Lotus Sutra interperted by Nichiren Daishonin and best English translation by Burton Watson.

I am not blaming you but by denyng cause and effect and think things are outside of ourself we get the negative effects, such as illness and proverty but by believing in cause and effect and the Lotus Sutra we can change all of this.

 It says don't presume to fathom the blessing of the Gohonzon (that is a scroll of the enlightened live condition of Nchren Daishonin) only people who have sincere faith have their prays answered.

I have actual proof I have a flat and I have a enough food so I will continue to have strong faith and I am sure I will have a job or the monies when I need it the most.

 Well I also am taking action looking for work, trying to find out what kind of benefts I can get.

 Why don't you try charties and maybe they have grants and also call the utility companies tell them of your situation also I can let you know about the Nichiren Shoshu Temple in USA.

Just e-mail

KInd Regards

I am 55 years old and permanently disabled. I can no longer afford my car payments. I have to drive over 100 miles for doctor visits, so obviously I need my car.

Here's my question; in California can creditors repossess your car if you are unable to make payments for several months?

Well all i can say is good luck to that.  I have been looking for the same thing.  No one, not even the government is givning hand outs anymore.  My suggestion, do what I had to and get a job. I was on wealfare for disability and could not survive off that with two children.  If my a chance you do find someone to help, tell me cause I sure could use it too.

I am a 53 year old women that has had alot of unfortunate things happen in my life - so I feel. I became very sick and unable to work about 5 years, my husband is blind and unable to work or drive. We have had to find a way to take care of our 26 years old daughter who also has had mental problems. The only help in the house has past away and now scared with the loss, we are really unable to move on day by day. We are unable to afford our medications, medical help or pay our bills. We are asking for help from anyone gracious enough to help a unfortunate family in need. Please E-mail us Luvsteve78@yahoo.com

I want to open a carehome for persons with severe and profound disabilities.  I live in a very small community that has no such resource and desperatley needs this service.  The nearest care home in the state is over 90 miles away, which means most individuals that need this service must relocate away from their families.  I have over 10 years experience working with the disabled population and have a passion and determination to help people in this capacity. 

I need funding in the form of donations or grants to help purchase a house with 4+ bedrooms, 2+ baths.  This is assuming each bedroom will be shared between 2 clients, with 1 room for a live in staff.  I don't know where to start on this mission.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

   I am A hispanic female, with lupus, fibromyalgia, sjorens, diabetes and neuropathy. To name a few of my complications. I use an electric chair, but, can't go out because I have no ramp. Nor can I use it for shopping because i have not the vehicle to transport myself and said chair around. I would like to own my home, so this way I can do whatever I want to the rooms to make the depression less. I tried to continue to work, but, since the lupus is greatly affected by stress and hinders my immune system, then I cannot suject myself to the stress of employment. I get fatigued very easily. And C.O.P.D. doesn't help.  I have to have assistance in doing menial tasks. My memory isn't great either. The lupus has affected my brain. I do have the tendency to go somewhere and forget where I was going. Also, as you can tell, my vision is attrosiuos. As is my spelling. I just want to live somewhere where it is nice and quiet, no gunshots to scare me, no neighbors to ruin my vehical, that respect others property. Somewhere I can actually feel safe to go outside and visit with my neighbors. Not worry that I'll offend them and have my belongings vandelized or stolen. A place to be safe, happy, with my dogs and cat.

I need a Van with a Wheelchair lift

MY FRIEND NEEDS HELP WITH HER MEDS.

  i am on disability ssi and can't afford to buy a van with a lift for my electtric chair need help desperately

My husband is a veteran and has a muscle disease called Inclusion Body Myostitis, which means the muscles in his body are dying. There is nothing available to stop the progression. The only walk- in shower I have is down stairs in the basement and he can't walk the steps. The bath on the main floor has a bath tub but he can't get in it. I am in need of a walk in shower and a raised toilet. Are there any grants or fundng available to do the remodeling?

Scholarships are FREE

Most people going to college get one scholarship and then apply for a student loan to cover the rest of their educational expensis.   This is OK, but student loans have to be paid back.  They cannot be forgiven even with Bankruptcy.  The only way out of a student loan is by dying or becoming so disabled that you can not work.

But there is no need to get a student loan.  You can get as many scholarships as you want to pay for your schooling.  There is no limit on how many you can have.  And you can get grants to pay for all the rest.  All it takes is a little effort on your part to hunt down and apply for these scholarships and grants. 

Go to www.yourgrant.com/scholarship.htm and check it out.  With a little effort and study on your part, you could go to college FREE.

I am a single mother and 41 years old.  I was recently diagnosed with perifphrial genetic Neuopathy.  I am in an electric wheelchair most of the time and am currently unable to work.  I don't have a vehicle, due to having to sell it to pay my bills.  My ex-husband foiled my plans of getting a home 5 years ago, and is currently trying to take my daughter away.  One of the reasons I would like to get a loan for a home, is to prove to my daughter that we are stable!  Something my ex-husband tells her because we live in an apartment.  I have always wanted a place of my own and I have now found the perfect place.  It is a two bedroom, one bath house all on ONE level!  It has a decent yard, not to big or too small and a great big garage!  It does have city water and sewer, as well as a 70 foot well.  It has LP gas with forced air hot and cold.  It comes with all the appliances that I would need, so I would not have to buy anything new.  I am meeting with resistance at evey corner since my disability hit in 2003.  I have lost most of my friends, my vehicle, my rented two-story townhome, and the worst of all is lossing my birth family.  They are all siding with my ex-husband to take my daughter away.  I know that a home will not fix the problems between my birth family and myself, however, it would sure help my daughter to fill grounded in the community that we both love.  It is a small town, filled with the people I had only read about in books.  We have more churches then bars, and there is only one main street, it is a place where you could leave your doors open at night, if you wanted.  Everyone looks out for their neighbor and we all pitch in where and when we are needed.  Both myself and my daughter love Holdingford, Minnesota and I humbly request your assistance in obtaining a loan to aquire a home in Holdingford.  They are asking 84,900 and I offered them 80,000.  It sounds like they are willing to take it, sadly, I have no money for the down payment even.  My mind is sharp and I very much want to give both my daughter and myself the security a permanent home would give us!  I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.  Thank you, in adavnce for your help regarding the matter of home financing for an American with a Disability.

i got hurt on my job in 2003 i under went one surgery and have to under go two more and i  am waitng on  social security.

Hi dooder1, Check the link in the next section. This link leads to a page where you will find many federal programs and grants that are targeted at helping physically disabled individuals. See which of the programs are of interest to you and for which ones you qualify. Additionally, you can search AidPage for more grant and loan opportunities for you and your family.

If you happen to be one of those lucky people on this earth that is able to buy excessively anything you want, travel aimlessly and have everything in life you ever wanted, please take a moment and think of me and my 2 children who currently have no place to live and barely anything to eat.  I am currently "staying" with a verbally abusive man who amazingly threatens to kick us out daily, because we had nowhere else to go.  I am a single parent of 2 , one child is disabled with Down's Syndrome.  Picture this.... Have you ever had to write checks to those check cashing places that give you your whole paycheck in advance but charge a $30 fee every 2 weeks? Well I currently have 3 of them out, to include everything I had of value in the pawn shop getting ready to lose it.  Have you had your house and car repossessed lately? Do you have a son who is a Senior who you could not buy a yearbook or class ring for or get his Senior Pictures made? Do you have an old dying dog who needs medical attention who you cannot even get his yearly shots? Have you ever lived on peanut butter, macaroni and cheese, chicken leg quarters and ground turkey meat? Do you have an abcessed tooth that you cannot even afford the copayment your insurance requires to get it fixed? Have you ever lived without utilities?  Have you ever had to write a check before payday hoping it wouldn't bounce, just so you'd have enough gas to get to work?  Or better yet, have you ever "tried" to file with Juvenile Court to receive child support "without an attorney?" If not, then you might need to try a reality better than the reality show "A Simple Life" because there are some of us out there who are not as fortunate. Any financial assistance would be greatly appreciated and I can guarantee you this is definately not fraud because I have every piece of information needed to back up my situation. As you can probably tell from my post I am very angry mostly at their fathers. I was not a whore making babies. I was actually married to these guys who contributed to bringing them into this planet. This picture by the way is a Walmart special for $4.95. Pretty good huh? Thanks......

My Husband is 75 and works part time 21 hrs/week.  He's very tired all the time.  I am 70, disabled insofar as I cannot stand for any length of time.  I have a part time job working ten hours a week.  We are having trouble paying bills, which makes us have to put implortant things (like car expenses) on our charge card.  We need help.

I'm looking for information to help my brother in law who was in a car accident and lost the use of his legs. He and my sister live in Las Vegas and need to move to a wheel chair accessable home, and they will need money for rehabilitation and care.

Hi Sue0125, Please, have a look at the link in the next section. The link is to a page with information about many federal programs for disabled individuals, including programs for housing, education, medical aid, etc. We are constantly adding new programs, so even if you do not find right away a suitable program, come back shortly and see if there is something new that is OK for you.
