My leg was amputated in Nov 2006. I had medical bills to settle but am currently unemployed as I used to be self-employed before the amputation. I am now living with my retired father and housewife mother. As we have no income, I tried to seek assistant from CDC but was unsuccessful. What other alternatives or organizations can I approach for assistance?
