How to obtain some help?

Home More advice Health

I am a 60 year old liver transplant recipient. It will be 9 years on 12/02/2009. I have had numerous complications including serious problems walking and seizures. I finally am in control and work full time as apatient advocate for the CT Division of the American Liver Foundation. I am now able to dance and it has become a real passion. I was able to take lessons with my wife, however we are not in a financial position to continue. Ballroom dancing will be added to the Transplant Olympics in Aug. of 2010 in Madison Wisc. I would like to compete but need lessons. Is there any organizations, etc. where I might apply for assistance? Does your Foundation provide anything like this? I'd love to come on your show and talk about organ donation and transplantation.
