Going through government grants is a long tediuos process but worth it if you can get help with this expensive need.

Every state has a “Department of Vocational Rehabilitation”. Call your “County Department of Job and Family Services” and they can give you the phone number.

The Dept of Vocational Rehabilitation will help you find a job, get a car, fix a car, find transportation, find a babysitter, whatever it takes to get you employed so they will help you too but it has to be becuse they are helping you to find employment or stay employed if you are deemed permanently disabled.
