Re: Jackson Co MO assistance Programs

I was seriously injured on the job 3 years ago. I am in litigation with workers comp and have applied for state and Federal disability but the only assistance I have received has been through LEAP & a one time payment from the Salvation Army.
I live in a rural Jackson county in eastern Kansas that seems to be a black hole for assistance. I have a disconnect notice on my electric bill and have had no income coming in for over a year now and I have been dependent upon friends and family. The generosity of my friends and loved ones has taken it's toll on their personal finances.
My condition is associated with brain trauma and 24-7 headaches and heat is a serious issue due to work related heat stroke. I also am dependent upon the use of a C-Pap machine for sleep apnea that was also non existent before the accident, so as you can imagine electricity is an essential necessity.
