Vertigo stricken senior needs $250.00 fix deflated mattress
Senior, (66) living on only $1034 a month in Social Security recently became unable to continue driving part-time at her school bus job due to a severe case of vertigo. Despite regular physical therapy to correct this, she still has bouts of dizziness preventing her from taking the chance of driving children. Her rent takes a whopping 93.5% of her income and her savings are being drained fast! She has only a few dollars left and can't afford anything extra. She is getting food stamps (SNAP), Energy Assistance from the CAP Agency and receives Medical Assistance which supplements her Medicare health insurance. When she moved into her apartment, the movers deflated her Sleep Number bed to gain entrance to her apartment and move it easier. Unfortunately, they did not re-inflate it. It will cost $250.00+ per the Sleep Number Store in Eden Prairie to come out and restore it to a proper condition for her to sleep on it. She has been sleeping on her couch for the last year and a half, and it is causing joint discomfort and isn't helping her vertigo. Her doctor said sleeping flat on a bed would be better for her diagnosis. She may need some extra clamps but that will be determined when they make the home visit. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so very much!$250.00 of $250.00
