struggling physically and financially

I notice that this topic of being handicap isn't listed. This for me is a hard place to be in. I have no transportation and my wheelchair is breaking down, but help even with insurance is just hard to get. The system (SSI) sometime doesn deal fairly and this is my only income. I know of no help groups that will help you obtain transportion in my condition. I have been kicked off of dial-a-ride because they said my wheelchair is unusual and they can't lift it. I don't want to be house bound, because I've been there and done that and it's not good. My daughter used to have to lift this chair up onto boards to get it in the van, but that is very hard to do. I am obese and tall 400+ and 6'2", but I refuse to give up I'll keep looking for help, I know it's out there and I just haven't found it yet. It takes a lot of energy to encourage yourself to get up each day and I know if it wasn't for the Lord I couldn't do it because I am an enabler and my adult children although they help me, they depend on me also. Anyway I just wanted to find a support group that could understand and share with me.
