Mom of 2 disabled children and need help

Lori7 started this conversation

I think I posted this as a reponse so sorry if you read this twice.  I'm a mother of 3 great kids, two of whom (twins) have disablities.  My twins both are in wheelchairs, althought one can walk for short distances with a walker.  I had to stop working full time as an RN due to all the surgeries (14 combined), and doctors appointment ect.  My husband is a fireman and works odd jobs on his days off to try and make ends meet.  We are in debt due to our situation, but I'm not asking for assitance for that.  The hardest thing for me is the inability to give my children a chance to do things that other kids do.  We need a wheelchair accessible van that will hold two wheelchairs (full size van with a lift), and they cost 50 -60 thousand dollars.  There is no way we can afford to buy that.  I just want to be able to take my kids th the zoo or shopping ect.  Right now they are stuck at home except for going to school or the doctor.  If anyone can help I would be eternally grateful.

Hi Lori

I know how you feel we have two disabled boys and it is very hard to get the kind of help you need. My boys miss out on a lot because the angencies eat up all the funds for our kids, I think the government should give the families the funds for our disabled kids. Our Prayers are with you and yours always.
