Question : Does anyone know of any assistance programs for wheelchair lifts
My niece was very sick as a baby and had several strokes because of this. This has impaired her ability to walk. She is having another surgery that will further delay her therapy because of recovery time. So, she will have to remain in chair. It takes the whole family to care for her and supply her needs. We are almost financially and emotionally depleted. In the area we live in if you don't get a fancy lawyer to advocate you miss out on alot of things like modifications for transportation. I've gone to every agency in the area that I know of. The most they have to offer is a wheelchair ramp. This is no good for a power chair. The vehicle has to be completely modified. I know there are services out there for this. Does anyone know of any Please help. She deserves to get around like everyone else who walks.I live in a state where all assistance comes from referals. If you don't know what to ask you don't get help. She is on medicaid and it works on approval from your doctor. If the doctor or therapist doesn't approve it she can't have it. She is 13 and needs to not have people carry her around. What will she do when we are too old to do this If we had money to buy a van I wouldn't be asking this question.SSI does not solve anything. Welfare is not a pot of gold. We are trying to leave her in position to get herself around so that she can got to college and not have to depend on anyone or the poverty enabler that people call government assistance. Did you know you are only allowed to have so much in assests or you don't get SSI You are not to have more the approx. $2000 combined in bank accounts and assets. This means no saving for the future. We can't allow her to get used to that. It's fine now for the medical costs but she doesn't deserve any less out of life than a person with full abilities.

Question : can a store get in trouble for...
putting there carts in the lines between the handicapped spaces because at the Walmart I shop in there is always a line of carts in the lines next to the handicapped spaces, the carts are collected from the parking lot and the workers use the lines meant for wheelchair users for a place to make the line of carts while they collect the rest in the parking lot to put back in the store. it makes it hard to get out of the car and impossible for anyone with a wheelchair lift/ramp to get out of their vehicles. People have complained and the store owner says he didnt know it was happening so I took pictures and he said it wouldnt happen again but it does all the time.
Answer:
Next time you take the photo, take a newspaper and put it in the photo so the date shows. Take that to the police.It is unlawful to use the striped access asles for parking of anything. They are to be left clear at al times.If a snow removing company leaves the snow in an access aisle they are fined $500. Walmart should be fined the same.
