Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 You might contact your state Tech support people (assistive tech and that stuff) In Idaho they have a loan program with very low interest that would help with a fence. Not a grant but better than nothing. You might also apply to what ever agency does respite funding as sometimes they will pay so much a month toward fence instead of a respite worker. cindyc@... idaho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Here in Wisconsin, we have a family support program that allows us one thousand dollars a year to purchase whatever we need for Ebony. She is also on another programs waiting list. I would ask your social worker if there are any programs in your area. Call social services, or your department of health and human resources. They should be able to find something. If you are in a birth to three program, the person who coordinates that for you should know too. Good luck.
