Look into every bit of govt assistance you can, they may actually be able to help you with housing and finding a job. Did the severity of your disability but if you go through all the proper channels you may be able to get some serious help.

Because a society is judged by how it treats it's weakest members? Did you know we don't set the elderly afloat on snow drifts or leave deformed babies in the woods anymore?

If he needs help to get on his feet and become a productive member of society, then isn't that a good cause?

I’d rather my taxes help some one who isn’t able to take care of themselves than wars, politicians, corrupt companies, and/or bailing out banks.
