I, in turn, am posting the following for my wife, who provides support
for a number of people with physical and mental disabilities:

   I can't help but be suspicious of such a blatant request to send
   money. So, don't expect a cheque.

   It sounds like cheques in the mail will be nothing more than a
   short-term solution. Charges of abuse should, however, be taken
   seriously. Have you contacted the BC Coalition for Persons with
   Disabilities? Have you made the Ombudsman aware of your situation?
