Hi, I am a 43 y.o. disabled woman who is a wheelchair user. I am also a mom to wonderful, almost 16 y.o. boy (He is selling candy in an effort to help me raise the needed funds for my tuition.) I need to raise funds for my tuition and books for next semester. I have applied for several jobs, but once the interviewer sees my wheelchair, I don't even get an interview. (I am always polite and dressed appropriately.) My husband who is 67 and retired, has attempted to return to work to help me, but he can't even get a job in his prior profession (accounting). He has applied at Target also, but know luck. The little money he recieves in retirement pays our housing and billing expenses. We have nothing left over for school. Lastily, I do not qualify for SSI. Social Security says my husband makes $ 100.00 too much money
Your contributions would give me a hand up-not a handout, as well as give me a chance to become self sufficient. Once i finish my degree, I would be able to help fund someone else's need.
