I am in need of financial resources to help remodel my bathroom to include a wheelchair accessible shower. I am on a limited income and cannot afford a remodel. I was diagnosed with CIDP in 2008 and have increasingly become weaker and weaker. I cannot no longer walk, and cannot transfer myself from my scooter to the transfer chair in my tub. Any information / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

There are City agencies that can help with this, they helped me in LA to modify my bathroom. Where do you live?

There are numerous municipalities in East Texas! I checked the City of Texarkana and they appear to have services that may support you, if you lived there. In lieu of a City name, perhaps the best resource would be the State of Texas Dept of Aging and Disability Services here:

When I became that weak a neurologis put me in hospital immediately and began treatments. Are you being treated for this? Your needs will soon go beyond an accessible shower.
