Skip to the front of the line by calling (888) 887-4593.
Depending on your financial situation, you might be able to get funds through your local community, if it participates in the HUD program for emergency repairs. Contact the municipal offices of your city or township to check this out.
Habitat for Humanity and Christmas in April help homeowners in need, but I don't know whether installation of a walk-in shower would be something the latter organization would handle. Contact your local offices for more information.
You can also call the United Way helpline, 211.
Depending on the existing bathroom configuration, installing a walk-in shower may be prohibitively expensive and might be beyond what an agency can help with for free.
You might want to consider alternatives, such as the slide bench which doesn't require standing to get into and take a shower.
Good luck.
I had mom with me a year before she passed. I helped her take just a few showers in my lovely walk-in with a built-in bench. She got a birdbath at the kitchen sink. Lots of room, counters cleared for the occasion, pretty soap, powders and lotion. Mom didn't like the feel of "the needles" from the shower head...
