Disabled But Capable; Our Introduction

Everyone Deserves Safe and Affordable Housing, Despite Disability



As a physically disabled adult, looking for housing in Georgia is difficult and almost impossible.  Instead, I have worked on our group, a non-profit, and approached big corporations to help financially. I am working on some form of land co. company contract and prefab housing.  

After suffering a stroke at Christmas time in 2023,  I lost my housing.  And even though I am still capable of living on my own,  finding a home is not easy. I have worked through many hours of physical therapy and am ready to go home.  I am here paying $ 1006.  month for my care, the government pays the other $ 7,900 a month!


I am considering sharing a home with another Disabled But Capable person, Connie

 


The other person is working to get into a home for the two of us. This is Connie G. We are both looking for a small home and business to operate.

Having also suffered a stroke, and had the same difficult time finding housing.  Basically, we are both homeless, despite years of working hard.

After approaching an attorney and filing for a Registered Agent of Service, the next step is the Articles of Incorporation, the tax code necessary for a non-profit 501(c). 


Along with myself and Connie is James, who is the only man in our group. He will become the person responsible for maintaining the yards.  This is James in happier times with his brother and their dates.

We are looking to purchase kit homes for those not aware, homes used to be delivered by train and unloaded on your property, along with the materials to erect it.

An Ode to an Old Man

I have spent more than a week in the Appling Behavioral Health unit in the small town of Baxley, Georgia.  It should be renamed "'Hell'".  And I am filing a case of fraud against the agency.  I still do not believe I should have been sent there.  I am in my right mind m filing and returned stronger and even more determined to find a small plot of land and a prefab home.  I had come here for physical therapy and to see the grandchildren more often.  And a doctor whom I have seen maybe three times for less than 30 seconds each time, put me on a 10-13, and had me forced into an ambulance, taking me hours from home.   I am still seeking legal advice. I had been marked as defiant, aggressive, and having assaulted my roommate.   As I was spoken to in terms that can only be described as scolding a small child, during our first meeting, it was told to me that since I had called the governor, senators, and the ombudsman, they were preparing for m...

Despite the Risk of Eviction From My Skilled Nursing Rehab Cemter

Day 2 -of Wearing the same clothes T   While I would love everyone to believe I am living my best life here in the Lollipop Guild. The opposite is true. At the risk of being evicted from this place and having my fundraisers stopped, I am going to tell you the real reasons you should never put a loved one in a rehab/skilled nursing health center. First, the grubbiness, just sheer grime. Nothing that some regularly mopped floors would not take care of, but the wall edges and corners of crud. Shower shoes are highly suggested. Where I am 50 to 65 asses are washed on every given day. But, I have only seen with my own eyes a shower cleaned only once in 1 year and six months. And when I say the towel used to scrub the floor was filthy enough to make you puke, I mean it, and I did. Now, since I can not afford shower shoes, I wear socks in the shower and throw them away afterwards. Since many skilled nursing and rehabilitation healthcare centers are not allowed to restrain patients...

Nana Seeks Home

 Still here in the Nursing/Rehab center.  I woke up to three different Zombies in my room last night. Since this is a non-restraining unit, the zombies walk into other rooms, stealing belongings all the time. One my 'grandchildren's photos has been missing for weeks.  I don't care if they are eight or eighty-eight, come in my room, you will be playing the game of "fool around and find out". Things on bedside tables tend to disappear.  One morning, my phone and glasses were gone. A CNA found them in a room 7 doors down from mine, a Zombie, must have taken both together.      While I am grateful not to be sleeping under a pile of cardboard. But the Zombies here are out of control. I am still waiting and working on my GoFundMe to build a small home or pole barn.  The biggest issue I am facing is that the code o rdinances regarding property sizes, particularly concerning minimum lot sizes and building footprints, are commonly used in zoning regulation...
