Help for parent owns home with 2 disabled children & needs to move closer to childrens hospital (boys, brother)

[Lora Hull]

My brother has two children with a very rare genetic disorder called MPS III. He bought his home prior to having his children. There is a good chance that his children could have seizures and their condition can only be treated at a childrens hospital. He needs to move so the children will be closer to a childrens hospital and is unable to sell his home. What assistance is available to him. Please help! It could be a matter of life or death for his boys! What can he do???

my only advice..and this may be a long shot..it that there are some real estate agents out there who will offer you a guarentee like...if i don't sell your home in so many days, i will buy it from you" then they sell it themselves. if he is a member or a church, he can go to them for assistance. we have a family in our church that has had to temporarily move to be near a children's hospital and the church has had many fund raising events to try to help them with the costs involved. Also, contact the shriner's hospital? or even st. judes? so sorry for his situation and hope and pray he finds the help he needs.

I didn't realise that the church was so helpful in America. Pity it isn't the same in the UK.
