Overview

I am a mother of five children. I am disabled and have a limited income. I am trying to support my family the best way I can but most of my money goes to bills.

My goal is to bring my family closer together and alleviate pain in my body. I would love to get back to work but my disability restricts my movement making it very difficult to find a job that can accommodate my needs. I am a part of a women's group which has provided a lot of support for me and my family over the years. It would be nice to have them come to my place to meet and have somewhere comfortable to sit.

I need living room furniture so that my family has a place to gather, talk and entertain guest without us feeling embarrassed. A couch would also be helpful in providing me with a place to rest after physical therapy which sometimes takes a toll on my body.

Meeting this need will help me because it is the missing link my family needs to feel at home and comfortable. I go to physical therapy twice a week. Having a comfortable place to rest from time to time would be nice.
