Does Anyone Know Of ANY Organization Or Program That Will Assist With Getting A Grant For A Single Mother Of A Son With Autism.
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am a single mother of a 5 year old Autistic son. He has lived in and out of hospitals his entire life due to extensive medical conditions as well. He does receive SSI. It's impossible to hold a full time job til now. I finally have him stable. I have lost my car, my home, multiple jobs and can't got back to finish school until I get these necessities. If anyone can offer ideas, please I beg you, let me know.

Thank you in advance for any and all input,
Sincerely,
Bethany

There are different grants for different things. I don't know of any grant that will help with basic necessaries but there are grants for things like assistiive technology, therapies,home modifications or vehicle modifications. Each state should have Medicaid waivers that people with various disabilities can be eligible for to get in home services that allow the parent or caregiver an opportunity to work. I don't know what state you are in but you may want to start by contacting your local disability office or center for independent living.

I have heard of Autism Speaks giving funding to a single parent with a child on the spectrum, however I do not know the steps to access that.
