I'm sitting here at midnight wondering what in the world I can do to help myself and others. My husband and I are both physically disabled and are just barely able to pay our bills. I know everyone else in this country is having the same problem with a few exceptions. Problem is we don't fit into any "category" we make 5 dollars a month too much to receive any state or federalaid and,I don't know if anyone has tried, but charitable organizations just aren't set up for middle class disabled caucasian people. They have charities like meals on wheels for elderly dogs (seriously they do) but to try to find a wheelchair for my husband or some help getting our ramp repaired before someone falls throughit , forget it. I'm glad the doge are eating well. We ourselves have had to cutback on groceries so we only eat what's on sale or buy from the "rotten rack" or day old bread . Thanks for letting me rant
PS I love dogs but feel that there are more serious problems to be dealt with
