I've pretty much given up filling out applications now - I cannot
bear to fill out anymore. My Doctors in the past have gotten so
tired of putting in their letters of recommendations, and only for
me to be "rejected" or "denied" due to lack of income.
IT HURTS! Especially when I live alone, so in exchange, I have my
son living here instead and returned to being a landlord and giving
up my own bedroom and sleeping on the floor and giving up my
privacy because of this.

Have you found an organization that will accept you? Have you applied to NEADS in princeton, ma? Have you considered training your own? I'm currently training a poodle puppy that is supposed to be from parents with the ability to alert to medical conditions. She's only 5 months right now so we will see how she does. I'm hopeful she'll do well with her training.
