October 26, 2019October 26, 2019 MaryO Can You Help? Cushing’s, Cushing’s Help, disability, legal, message boards

If you can help, please respond here or on the Message Boards. Thanks!

I believe I need legal assistance related to i humane treatment by city and/or county officials. I can explain further, if need be, once I find out if it’s even possible to get help. And I certainly cannot afford to pay an attorney, since my income is SSD (Disability), which is low and fixed, which has been the case since Cushing’s reared it’s remorseless, destructive head in 2008. Is there any legal assistance fund set up for Cushing’s patients?
