[nagdu] application update

[Steven Johnson]

Jenny,
Please consider contacting the entity that holds that actual contract of
your para-transit provider to see what language they have within it.  Some
may be curb to curb, while others may be door to door.  Generally, your
local transit operator will hold this contract as they generally bid these
services out.  There should also be a specific person to contact within the
system that you can explain this to.

HTH,
Steve

P.S.  I agree with the others in that you may have to request a temporary
delay from the training program.

Please pardon the typos in this message, but I am crying as I write this.

I have just now started checking my messages after a week or so of being out
of the loop due to a serious injury to my ankle because the city of Rockford
didn't take care of a whole in the middle of a crosswalk.  

I have gotten the run around through the city and tried to contact several
attorneys to help me get compensation for my injuries, that we still can't
determine because the swelling has just now gone down enough to do proper
MRI tests to make sure ligaments or tendons haven't been torn or severed
completely.  

I was checking my many previously unchecked messages when I received the one
from the school that let me know that everything was in and the home
interview person would be contacting me soon.  

there is no way to do a proper Juno walk at this time or any time soon due
to this injury, and I've worked so hard to get this done, and gone through
so much hell.  

I can't even get to appointments using paratransit because they won't come
down my driveway and won't come to the door to come and wheel me to the bus.


I have had to rely on the kindness of friends to help me for now.  Many many
steps back from the independence I have fought tooth and nail for since
Brooks retired, or despite his retirement.  

Please put me in your prayers.

Have a good night and impending weekend.

Jenny
