RodMan,
Sorry to hear about your situation. I am a local guy (Mantorville) and am wishing and praying for better days for you and your wife. Let me know if there is something I can do to help.
Sorry, but I don’t know of any programs or anything you can do, but as a member of a local church, maybe a call to Father Supernaugh (sp) (Catholic Church by the school) could help.
Prayers send to you.
Brent
I seldom disagree with you, and you are right, this is not the place to debate whatever personal feelings we have.
Wow.. this post is kind of going all over the place 
nothing was meant to be harmful, but some were words people dont want to consider… So lets leave that D word out?
There has to be some kind of piece/hand work at the least that could be done sometime in the near future. I worked at a mail shop in the past that took in manual lable jobs once in a while that drove me nuts.. but the pay was still the same, it paid the bills, and someone had to do it… Its a poor example for work, but something is better than nothing to start with.
It doesnt take much physical endurement to push paperwork of any type, their are some jobs out there that pay pretty well for doing so.. the trick is to find them! It sure helps when someone runs across something decent calls it to the attention of someone needing the work! Its hard for people to understand unless they are sitting in the needy persons shoes.
I spent 2 years of my life in a wheelchair due to 3rd degree burns on my right foot.. my desire to work was still there, but my physical ability/condition wasnt. THen it took me several months to learn to walk again.. then even more time to strengthen enough to use my leg again.. I would do it all over again if I had a choice between that or losing the limb. If that isnt enough having to deal with that.. many of the medications I was on for pain, along with pemanent brain damage from menangitis when I was an infant gave me other handicapps, now my heart is on the fritz and surgery is inevitable.. I learned that 1/2 through the term of our 2nd child. SO.. now we have 2 kids, I am on social security and the doctors tell me not to work… Did I mention I am only 33 years old??
Hmm.. ever try to live and feed a family of 4 on $623 a month??? I have no choice to work whatever work I can.. and I do.
Someone runs across a job that rod-man can do? Please get ahold of him, recommend him, anything that you can do to help him help himself for now an the future.. just being able to do anything under your own power to be self suffcient means more to a person with limited resources, but anything helps, even moral support… There is nothing fun about feeling helpless.
I would like to say “THANK YOU ” to all that posted
I will certanly look into the links and suggestions that I have not already tryed
no mater what happens we will not be getting divorced
like Chris Farley used to say I’ll
“live in a van down by the river” 
and still be marryed to my “fishermanswife”
Thank you all for the support Frank (rodman)
Sounds like a scary situation, but I truly believe the God will only give that to you which you can handle. Stay strong, stay together and things will work themselves out….I am also local, and if you need help with anything (scared of ladders and heights 
)feel free to give me a shout….I’m sure I could rustle up some muscle to help out too
Sorry about your situation. I have been reading the post for a while, but couldn’t come up with any ideas that were not already mentioned. I am also in the area and would be willing to do anything I can to help out. Unlike Big D, I am not too scared of ladders and heights, so feel free to give me a shout also.
Just keep up the good spirits and remember that God and family are always on your side.
