Disabled Person needs Help

5 years ago, I was permantly placed in a wheel chair due to a non-repairable broken hip. Prior to my disability, I did most of the landscaping and yard care. I am now unable to trim bushes, rake pine straw, etc. My yard is falling apart. I am unable to enjoy and explore my yard without someone at home for fear of my wheelchair getting stuck (in holes, etc.) I need some paths and landscaping to make my yard function for a wheelchair.

My husband has removed many of the bushes but we have yet to find time and money to repair the areas where the bushes were located.

Also, the county paved our road 2 years ago and my front lawn was dug up. Grass has never grown again on this part of my property. It looks like a dry desert.

Please help!

This thread was answered by Nikki and Coach Hayes on Dragonchilde's page. No need to repeat it here. Good to all. Please stop with the negative comments.

Nemo says ...Yesterday at 9:23 PMCongrats on voting for the disabled. People are suckers for pity votes like that, but posting it here is tacky, almost as tacky as making your tag line "Disabled person needs help". Way to help the rest of us who have

Nikki says ... on Friday, Jul 31 at 1:01 AM

and the youth group helped clean the yard when I was having many surgeries and hospital stays. I am truly blessed by having such a wonderful church family. They are there when I really need them.

Nikki says ... on Friday, Jul 31 at 12:59 AM

I also wanted to add that my church has been wonderful about volunteering and helping. They built the ramp at the front of my house, helped remove carpet and install a hard flooring for my wheelchair,

Nikki says ... on Friday, Jul 31 at 12:58 AM

Thank you everyone for your votes and wonderful comments. Even if I don't win the contest, I have already won so much for having such great friends. You have all touched my heart tremendously. God has truly blessed me and my family.

you got my vote as well. However, if you lose, maybe your church can do some volunteer work for you.

Kevin and Nicki are very active in our church and volunteer a lot of their time in various activities there. They not only are deserving but would be very appreciative of the help. They are really good and deserving people!! Good luck and please vote

You got my vote! I hope you win!

work says ... on Wednesday, Jul 29 at 3:43 PM

It seems this candidate is the only one who mentioned anything about keeping the maintenance up once they received the new landscaping. This is commendable considering they want a wheelchair friendly yard so that they may maintain it properly.

Carolyn says ... on Wednesday, Jul 29 at 1:52 PM

You definitely deserve this over the other contestants! Good luck!

Angel says ... on Wednesday, Jul 29 at 10:31 AM

Very deserving and worthy of your vote!!

Carol says ... on Wednesday, Jul 29 at 10:22 AM

I vote for these very deserving people. Even though life has been tough for them, they are still very delightful and wonderful, and deserving of this make-over. Good Luck! God Bless!

Tracy says ... on Wednesday, Jul 29 at 8:43 AM

Good luck! I hope you win. You deserve it.

Charity says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 6:18 PM

Please help this wonderful family with the yard that they can feel proud of and enjoy with their friends and family.

Brenda Harrell says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 2:22 PM

I hope you will help this family. This family has been through so much in the past few years. An update to their yard would give them a much needed boost.

Pam says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 9:54 AM

This is a very deserving family who has been through a tough time. Any assistance given to them would be appreciated by them and by their friends and family.
