Story
54-year-old woman whose life has debilitating health conditions. She shares her small, cramped apartment with her daughter, who also lives with her own disabilities, and a tiny 4.5-pound chihuahua who serves as her devoted service dog. She has suffered through four agonizing knee surgeries, each one diminishing her mobility further, until she was finally left permanently confined to a wheelchair. The simplest daily tasks most people take for granted have become almost insurmountable challenges. Even in the face of such unending adversity. Trapped on the second floor of an apartment complex without an elevator, she has faced moments of humiliation and danger. Unable to climb the stairs, she once had to be carried by the fire department back up to her home—an experience that left her feeling helpless and exposed. When her health and safety demanded she move to a ground-floor unit, she did everything she was asked. She provided documentation from her physician, only to be told that even medical proof of her dire need would not guarantee any relief. She was forced to file a complaint just to be moved to the top of the waiting list. Finally, there was a glimmer of hope, and a First-floor apartment maybe available so she began packing her belongings in anticipation of a safer home. She is only asking for help to pack up her apartment in a way that will be in compliant with fire code, while she waits for her safer home on the first floor. Family is working with 123 Moving -
