I am thinking you aren't fully aware of the high cost of medical care for those with debilitating disabilities. Those organizations suggested above are simply not equipped, nor set up to fund such costs/care. This person would need an adult daycare like facility, a 'workshop' as they are called here in Ohio. This is a county run program, but I believe it is funded by the state (and probably federally, as well). Further, it sounds like he needs ongoing medical care. That can cost thousands a month.

To hear that people are on the waiting list for 10 years,to obtain the medical/social assistance that they need is simply incomprehensible. It only encourages the types of horrific stories we read about in the news.

Sadly, I do not think this is only in Indiana.
