medical necesatity to move up wait list due to life threatening illness who to contact
We are on the wait list in only one income based 55 and over community and really need to move to Long Island for medical necesity I have asked the complex a social service public and private and one congressman I have other calls in and am trying to connect with some of the help for special needs groups on Long Island it is a 6 month to 2 yr wait and they wont tell us where we are on the list. who can we call? thanks
I am sorry for your situation, but as you have found out, unfortunately you are not unique in the area. The best suggestion I can offer you is to contact Catholic Charities of Long Island in Hicksville. They may be able to guide you. Good luck.
Find a cheap apartment to crash in temporarily.
Beats staying in a shelter.
Even if you're all crammed in a shoebox, it would be temporary.
Sometimes you gotta make sacrifices.
Why not get a cheap apartment in the meantime that's not 55 and older. If the Illness is life threatening I am surprised you haven't come here already. Even if it's a 1 bed room give your child the bed room and you and your husband sleep on a pull out couch. Do you have family in NY or on LI? I am not sure what your child's disability is but maybe they have a support group that can help. does he need to be hospitalized? Have you tried putting this out there on face book? Have you looked into any section 8 housing?

Is there a Ronald McDonald House that could temporarily house you?
