Over the span of two decades author, columnist and speaker Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Because of this experience, Bradley Bursack created a portable support group, the book "Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories."

 

Is she on Medicare? There may be help through Medicare. You could also try local charities that may have donated medical equipment. Try going to your state Web site and looking under aging services. There you should find some local contact information. Good luck.

Where do you live? My mother has an almost new motorized wheel chair which she can no longer use. it is in pristine condition and I would be more than happy to give it to you if you could pick it up.
