My 11 year old son has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and is confined to a wheelchair. I have a mortgage of $150,000 and have to work to pay it. I am a single parent. I need to know if grants really exist and if I can get help so that I can be at home to care for him. I have been through countless piles of paperwork to try and get financial assistance but have been unable to find anything. Even if I can work part-time or work from home would be beneficial for our family. So far the only grant information I could find cost money. He needs help with every aspect of his life, from going to the bathroom to getting a drink. I have to have help but to have someone come in is going to cost even more money that I don't have. I am currently unemployed due to a recent event but am currently seeking employment. Please understand that it's not that I don't want to or an unable to work. I need to be at home with my son, even if it's only for a few years. Any Suggestions? Thank you.
