Help getting to a doctor appointment for kids
Posted: Sun Jul 26, 2015 6:05 pm
I am a single parent with two children with disabilities. I am requesting help or guidance to an organization that will help me get my vehicle fixed. My DHS worker says I must work in order to get help with my vehicle, but I cannot work because of my children's medical issues and problems at school.
My oldest daughter 22 years old has a rare genetic disorder deletion of chromosome 22 q 11: Small stature, developmental delay, constipation, allergic rhinitis, moderate persistent asthma (chronic), femoral anteversion, hallux valgus, vitamin D deficiency DiGeorge Syndrome (chronic) pronation of feet, eustachan tube dysfunction, ADHD attention deficit hyperactivity disorder combined with inattentiveness. if that is not enough, she also has a learning disorder, hand weakness (writer's cramp, numbness and tingling in hand), obstructive sleep apnea (CPAP), velopharyngeal incompetence, back strain, leg strain, hypernasality, and uses a walker and wears braces. She sees a lot of physicians and is very sensitive and easily persuaded.
My youngest daughter is 13 years old. She has Asthma, food allergies, environmental and seasonal allergies, ADHD hyperactivity and impulsive disorder, Oppositional defiance disorder, hypersomnia and eczema. She is constantly suspended or having an allergic reaction and has experience traumatic situations molestation and domestic violence and is easily persuaded.
My children see a lot of physicians, specialists and therapists. I travel Monday through Friday to medical appointments form Downtown Detroit, Dearborn, Ann Arbor, Canton, and Northville. I have not worked in 2 years due to their disabilities requiring multiple medical appointments throughout the week and because no one will babysit them because of their disabilities.
We receive $220.00 in food stamps. My oldest child receives $540 in social security disability and we receive child support that fluctuates from $160.00 to $560 monthly. I have a mortgage $490.
I expense $160.00 a month in gas for vehicle to take my children back and forth to their medical appointments. This does not include the cost of utilities and vehicle maintenance. I drive a 2003 ford escape. My vehicle is now giving me problems: transmission; will not go in reverse I push it into parking spaces, I do not have money to get it fixed. It recently stalled and will not start, I now must get a boost to go to appointments and when leaving appointments. I do not have a family support system.
