Walking Man, have you tried contacting your state vocational rehabilitation office? Voc rehab helps people who can no longer work at what they used to find another source of employment. They work with folks with disabilities to help them become independent.

My personal answer to your question will be a downer. I, personally, would not enter a relationship with anyone who needed me to support them. Wouldn't matter if it was a man, woman, friend, whatever. As others have said, I have a nice income, but it's not enough to support another person. I'm a 60 year old widow. I was married for 23 years to a man I had to support emotionally and, at times, financially. I was a caregiver for my mother the last couple of years of her life. I work counseling at risk kids. I just don't have it in me to take care of/support another person at this stage of my life.

Having said that, I do believe it is possible for two people who want to be together to work out what you want. It would be more difficult than two able bodied folks entering a relationship, but would be possible.

Someone else mentioned meetup.com. What about checking out what they have to offer in your area to have a chance to meet folks?
