looking for help groups for paraplegic

hello all i don't know if anyone here has ever had to deal with anything like this. but on 11/25/08 my brother was shot in the back when my parents house was broke into and he will never walk again as the shot went right though his t7 and t8 vertebrae. so i have been looking for groups to help them out with info and maybe some of the money as he had no insurance. and info would be nice

i have no idea but i'm so sorry...

I did some searches and came up with nothing so far.. Sorry to hear what happened though. I will check with some people I know that work in hospitals to see if they know of anything like that.. My brothers an emt and another friend is a nurse. They may know something that I am not finding on line

The hospital and physical therapy team ought to be able to help with suggestions.

My thoughts go out to your brother and yourself and family. Life can be very challenging at times... watch for windows to open.

I am so sorry to hear this!
My neighbor is a paraplegic as well. My brother-in-law's brother is also paraplegic. My old boss is quadraplegic. The CIO of my previous job is blind. So, I have a lot of interaction with people with disabilities. Unfortunately, I'm in Florida...

But, these might help you in Michigan:
help with funding and support group:
www.michigan.gov/csnfund

another one, although they specialize in developmentally disabled, they might have information on victims of accidental paralysis:
www.csdd.org

This one may help with job placement, etc:
www.dcilmi.org
www.disabilityconnect.org (in Jackson, MI)

Hope this helps!
