Dolly, I pray it will work out with you and your son. Families need each another.

As far as Catholic Charities I hope you have better luck then I have been having. I was told they have volunteers that build wheelchair ramps. I told them I would be more then happy to pay for the materials I just need someone to build it. I was told we qualify. This was the end of August. My husband has not been out of the house since May because I can't get him out and we have had to cancel doctor appts. About 4 wks ago a volunteer finally came and looked over where we would put a ramp and what would need to be done. Said would get back to us. He hasn't so far. I leave voice mails with the Catholic Charities and they don't return the calls. Now with all the holidays around the corner I am sure I will hear nothing until next year. :-(

Hang in there and try to keep warm.

My husband’s Knights of Columbus Council has built wheelchair ramps for people in situations like yours. My advice would be to call the Grand Knight at your parish. He should be able to put you in touch with someone who can help. My husband’s Council is always looking for charitable projects and of course they love to build things. 😄 I think (and hope) that you will find them way more responsive than Catholic Charities. The Knights are local guys trying to do good and Catholic Charities is a bureaucracy.
