The husband of a friend of mine be just this minute shot and vanished paralyzed.?

We were looking for free or low cost home modification. We live within Oklahoma and there is virtually nought for new para's. Any suggestions would be kind.


Answers:    Every state is different and it can be difficult to network your track through the local bureaucracy to find out what is available. For example, Social Security may be one option. Or if the quirk was somehow work related workers compensation possibly another.

Check with a Center for Independant living. They can push for you about the option available locally. Here is a link to the CILs contained by Oklahoma:

There will be some local funding, but it is up to you to seek it out. Here is an article just about wheelchair ramps. About in the middle down there is a brief discussion going on for funding and about finding volunteer organization that may be willing to serve out:
