Question for Katie & Steve

I have been trying to get help and have been turned down by cap. Is there someway I can get help in the state of NC? The state has given some others help and I need it too. - Linda

Linda,

It is difficult to provide an answer to your question without having more information about you.  Not knowing what your disability is and what your needs are limits the number of options we can offer you.

Ultimately, you need an advocate.  You say you've been denied for CAP, your states Protection and Advocacy service, but you still need an advocate. North Carolina has five Centers for Independent Living (CIL) and you can find them at:

www.ILRU.org/Directory/northCarolina.html

Someone from a CIL should be able to assess your needs and advocate with you
and your appropriate state agencies to get the help you are seeking.

Thanks for the question & Good luck!
