She can travel throughout the county we live in if she calls 24 hour in advance and stays within the county. It is a wheelchair accessible bus so that is good but too limited at times.
She is such a positive young woman but I hate to see her be such a prisoner of her own home.

First let me say I am so sorry that you were treated that way. NO church should hand out a television and feel that their job is done! NO CHURCH! that is disgusting. I would seek out a new church. Like I said, you dont have to be a member of the church to go ask for help. go to 4 or 5 of them. knock on doors till your knuckles bleed. talk to her social worker, and ask about resources. Talk to the PT department at a large hosital and ask if they have any old/unused/ unclaimed slide boards. Please dont let your church stop you from knocking on the doors of others.
hang in there.
