There aren't any govt programs for such. Unfortunately, cars are not considered necessities even though you have to get to doctor's appts.



What you can do is apply with your county dept for council on aging. They also help the disabled. Someone from the agency will come out to your house for a face-to-face interview. They approve you relatively quickly (compared to food stamps & medicaid in my area which are also county svcs). Of course, you have to be legally disabled w/documentation & they will walk around your house's interior to determine what services will benefit you. The interviewer is usually a nurse or social worker.



The services they can help you with are volunteers will drive you to doctors appointments, to the grocery, on errands, etc., but u have to let them know well in advance since the program operates on volunteers.



This agency also operate the meals on wheels program to deliver cooked meals to your house if you have difficulty preparing them. However, this program has had so many budget cuts that ppl are having to get fewer deliveries per week.



You see the difference here? This agency provides svcs to enable you to see doctors & be fed. Those things are necessary.



As for donated cars...sometimes a church will donate one. Very few, though & under special circumstances. I only know of 2 instances in the hundreds of disabled ppl I know in 2 states. This particular church was Episcopalian. Ppl are members...they don't just do it for ppl off the street. (Many churches do offer food pantries open to the public, tho. They have a limit on the amt of food you get & how often u get it.)

chiliswoman disabled people need help sometimes. I hope you don't ever get hurt or disabled but, let me tell you it's not fun asking for help ether. I had a disk collapse in my back at work and now I am disabled because I can't stand or sit straight up for more than 2 hours at a time and I am having surgery next month. So yeah I have had no choice but to take a few hand out's. Does That make you better than me? If so, I guess they should just take all disabled people and put us out of our misery so people like you wont have to worry about us getting a hand out. I bet If you were in my shoe's you would like a little help.

I saw a billboard to donate cars to Good Will. Check that site out.

Go through your County welfare office, they take in donations for autos and by qualification give them to the needy.

I have never seen anyone get assistance to get a car, only to get assistance with the costs to modify a van or a car. Being disabled alone does not entitle you to hand-outs.
