Matt was denied coverage from Vocational Rehab for a new power wheelchair. Long story short, they are saying his physical pain from the joints and repetitive stress injuries are "not their problem" and that he should just collect disability. Which is retarded b/c the whole goal of VR is to get disabled people working and functioning in society. Here look at there mission statement:
Vocational Rehab Mission Statement
Obtain and keep employment my tushy!!! they actually TOLD Matt to give up and go on disability? WHAT??? SO dumb!
Anyway, we appealed the denial from March and have the appeal meeting today at 2 in the main office. The district supervisor comes and sees if the case is able to be reopened or if the case is permanently to be closed. So this could make or break us!!! YIKES! We're nervous b/c the chair is over $20,000 for the BARE MINIMUM one that he needs and obviously we don't have that kind of cash. Not only that, to repair the one he is sitting in, we need a minimum $3000. YIKES! So pray for Gods direction in all this. We did apply for a grant from an organization to see if they will pay for a chair, but we don't' know for sure and won't hear about that for several months.
We're hoping for a miracle! And our God is definitely a God of miracles! he has never left us with unfulfilled needs before, and we are believing he will provide now! Please keep us and the process in prayer!
Have a blessed day in the Lord!
