About Me

I am 56 and according to my doctor have maybe 5 years left to live. I am almost totally homebound, not having the stamina to even go to the grocery store. I lost my driver's license with my disability due to excessive sombalism-falling asleep at any time. I live alone in a high rise for the elderly, disabled and poor. It is rent controlled which is a great help, but I have a caregiver (PCA) which costs me $500 a month. The state of Kansas makes you pay everything over $700 you get in disability a month.
