in response to Inspiration...Inspiration, Thank You for the website information on relocation grants. It is helpful to know that there are grants to help move across country to a drier climate out there but for some reason this site does not mention how or where to apply for such grants. Frustrated! But honestly do appreciate your continued help. Thank you so much, its nice to know that people do actually care.
in response to char6...Thank you so much for your help. You are very sweet and your efforts are greatly appreciated. Hoping to hear positive news soon. God Bless You.
in response to mamashe/sheshe...Thank you so much for your quick reply and empathy. It sounds like you know how much the damp and cold climate can increase pain and mobility. I do have heavy pain prescriptions left over from all of my previous surgeries but do not want to take them for fear I would rely on them whenever pain worsens. Most of my day I keep a heating pad around both hands which is what helps best. I was told by Mayo Clinic Hospital here that there was nothing more the surgeons could do for me. All operation procedures have been done and failed. I am now fused and have limited mobility in both thumb/wrists. I am just so tired of PAIN!!!!
I did live in AZ for many years and my best friend and other friends are willing to let me stay. The Grants I am seeking would provide assistance for actually moving my belongings so that I could get a fresh start and go back to school. This was a work related injury so I would need to go into another field of work that doesn't require much use of my hands. (Kind of eliminates lots of jobs) however, I do have a plan and remain optimistic that there are good people who may be able to help a good cause.
Best wishes, Needdryclimatehelp
in response to Inspiration...Thank you very much. I have heard of relocation grants and retraining grants. My pain now is chronic and in my hands so its hard to say at this point if I will be able to work again or not. I do know that during Arizona visits over the past years have made the pain go away miraculously! My intent is to move and work if possible. Thank you Inspiration for your time.
am Permanently disabled on SSDI due to degenerative arthritis in both thumb/wrists. I have had 11 surgeries and many joints fused and bones removed. I wish to relocate to AZ from Minnesota because the cold climate causes chronic pain that I can no longer tolerate. I have lived in Tucson, AZ before and feel the dry climate would help very much. I would like to work again if I am able without pain. Please help me I dont know where to find the right grant to apply for relocation and even cannot write my own grant to apply. I need direction. dsparkhurst@charter.net
