[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are wealthy in less you are on section 8 or low income housing program.  Don't kid yourself.  You can afford services, but you have to modifiy your budget.[/quote]

I'm a disabled single parent with no income due to my health and seeking medical treatment currently. I'm applying for SSDI but the wait can be years, despite meeting all criteria. We are barely making it, but my son still deserves a chance to learn as much as a wealthy family's child does. My son's school is also largely inaccessible to me as a wheelchair user, despite me trying to request documents digitally and trying multiple times to attend family events there, as they keep the elevators locked, don't staff them with enough volunteers with passes, etc.

I know your post was meant in spite-- but I want to thank you. You've reminded me that no matter how hard our circumstances or how humbled I am by health or disability challenges, I'm still doing better than those with far more resources and ability, who sadly waste it to try and hurt, instead of help.

Your post is misleading as you have enough money to live in one of the most expensive areas.  Move to something more affordable and spend that extra on tutoring and help for your child.  Many of us struggle with our health.  We live within our means and make it work.  We get creative with getting our child the help they need.  Your child has the same opportunities being in the same school.  The issue is your child cannot handle that school placement and its not the right fit.[/quote]

Wow...a lack of compassion for OP, who is on a wheelchair and limited income. Not easy for this person to just "move." They probably also get subsidized housing. They can just snap their fingers and go elsewhere. [/quote]

OP isn't saying they are in subsidized housing and doesn't say what limited income means.   Its clear that she is married and they are ok, they don't have a lot extra.  Many of us have serious health issues.  We live within our means and figure it out. [/quote]

OP says she's a single parent in the follow-up post, and that she doesn't work while navigating SSDI. It sounds like a rough situation. Why so hostile? [/quote]
