Disability Resources

Here is a link to a list created by Expertise.com. It is a comprehensive guide for people living with disabilities. It aims to help make the federal grants available to seniors, veterans, and people with cognitive and physical disabilities much easier to understand and take advantage of, particularly for remodeling homes for accessibility. I hope you find this helpful! xox

Thank you Kati Morton for publishing this information.

That was nice you posted that Trace.

I always wonder though-what can crisis lines actually do to help? Have you ever called one?

I can see where the rape one would be helpful, though I never called one.

No never called one but I would I hope I would if I needed to. I think PC has something like this posted somewhere but I felt I needed to post this quick and didn't have time to look for it.
