Blind And In Need Of Help

My name is Khloe Baglini and this is my father Tim and I’m getting ready to turn 16 years old. Almost 8 years ago my father had a stroke and it impaired his ability to talk and walk in which he had to go to rehab to learn to do again which he still has trouble with every now and then. It also caused him to be fully blind in both eyes which the doctors say have a big possibility to be permanent. My mother and father had a separation which caused her to leave us and me with him, pushing her out of the picture and me out of options. Most of my family doesn’t live near me so we don’t get to talk much of ever which leaves me and my dad basically on our own for almost everything. Me and my dad have been living off of Social Security for the last eight years as he’s raised me and has done a perfect job so far, but as great of a job he’s done and as brave of a man he is, he does need help with a lot of things that he simply cannot do on his own because of his disability. Although, since we live on such fixed and tight income me getting ready to turn 16 is not a happy milestone and turns out to be quite the opposite for us. Every time up until now we’ve had to depend on other people to take us places such as him to the doctor and us to the store to get food and most people we try to depend on let us down which forces us to have to pay and take the scat bus for us to go anywhere. Many times we simply don’t have the funds to waste so I’ll have to walk to the store to get groceries. Now that I’m turning 16 it’s an opportunity for me to get a car and a drivers license but because of our income and the laws in Florida I am unable to do so. The laws in Florida state that I’m not covered on the insurance of anybody unless I’m living with them so therefore no one can safely teach me to drive since I live with my dad and I am unable to afford the cost of insurance for that car. Me having these abilities to drive would help me and my dad tremendously with me being able to get a job so I can make money and help out so I can drive him to the doctor and to church while not having to rely on others who always tend to be unreliable. I’ve been racking my brain, trying to think of a way to come up with the money, selling almost everything I own to do this for him so I created this page.
I hate being in the position where I need to ask others, especially ones I do not know, for help, but even with my father’s setbacks and obstacles he has had to overcome, day in and day out he has always been there for me no matter what. Whenever I needed him he was there and he raised me the best he could and I could not be more thankful for him. So, I will do whatever I must to help him in any possible way that I can. Thank you.
We would both appreciate anything as any possible help would be a blessing for me and definitely to him. Thank you so much for hearing my story and god bless you all.
