Info on Various Illnesses and Disabilities
This page has been "under construction" for over a year, as we have lacked volunteers who could work on it.
If you would like to add links to this page yourself and have any experience working with Homestead's websites or are willing to learn, please email Jen at selfevident@earthlink.net and put "WEB SITE HELP" or something lke that in the subject heading. I attempted many times to get help on this from people on our past and present email lists in the past, and few people were interested or able to do so.
As this website could not possibly become comprehensive by the work of two or three people, and it was always meant to be a collective effort, help has always been welcomed.
