I ran across this organization and thought it might be benificial to pALS, as they are among those that the organization caters to.
United Spinal Association
Membership is free and I have signed my husband up. They will be sending me a packet of information. One of their services (apparently) is to provide help with designing accessible spaces in your home. I was looking for help with the bathroom.
The crazy woman that came to our home today left a page from a notebook, hand written, with no detail for pricing and bottom line quoted almost $19K. No company quote page or business card. She wanted an additional $1K to remove the existing shower and finish the walls. This was not tile, by the way.
Do I have dumb a$$ stamped on my forehead. She didn't even sketch out a drawing and she was here for two and a half hours! I studied design in college and this was the most unprofessional presentation I've ever seen in my life! I mean, I can sketch out a landscape design almost to scale in 30 minutes.
Anyway, hoping for help from the United Spinal Association. I'll let you know what I find out. I'm going to try to call them tomorrow.
Forgot to add that they have special help for Vets!
