Hmm, thats odd, developmentally disabled people who were born that way get all sorts of disability, and they never worked a day.

So your GREAT GRandmother had all the jewelry, gold , diamonds etc and because of that, your Grandmother could not get disability.
so what your saying is that you can't get disability if you have any rich relatives.
This story is getting better, are there any car crashes off of cliffs that end in an explosion or anything? Also this story needs a love interest to be successful with the mass audience.
ps. if the car was so cheap to fix and a mere pittance to ship, why bring up the cost as a major factor in your Grandmothers finances?
