My name is Jorja. I'm an almost "53" year old disabled grandmother. I along with my husband (Sweet Pea) of 24 years (also disabled) are raising our 7, almost 8 year old grand daughter. We have been without transportation for over a year. We've asked family and neighbors alike for rides to various locations (i.e. Social Security office, grandchild's school, etc.). Most of the time now we get the "I'm already obligated or have an appointment scheduled," spiel whenever we ask for help getting somewhere. We take the local Trolley when there's a little money left over after paying the bills (not very often with school clothes, supplies and such). I get SSI but my husband is still waiting on a decision from his filing. We try to walk but with much difficulty (I have a bum ticker) and my husband has severe emphazema and arthritis. Sometimes we have to wait days or weeks to take care of business. We hardly ever get to the pharmacy on time when our prescriptions run out. Right now, it's Monday, 1:22 am. I have 1 doze each of my medicines but have to wait until Thursday to get them. My money ran out on the 10th of this month. Nothing ever stays on time or in sync. I feel as though my husband and I are in a bad roulette game without any transportation. We sure could use a miracle. Thanks for listening.
