JAN. 2010 - Man desperately needs community help

I am a social worker with Crisis Intervention Division of the Dallas Police Dept. In July of 2009 - I received a call about a homeless male needing assistance. He is a double amputee (both legs are amputated below the knees because of illnesses. He is a diabetic and has had multiple heart problems. He mobilizes via a wheelchair that is old and needs to be replaced. Mr. Darovar has been in US for many years - has always worked but because he has lost all his documentation - and belongings, he became homeless. Placed in shelter - an organization has supported all his needs up to now. They no longer are able to continue with the expense and are seeking some support from the community. Even a small amount of financial assistance would be greatly appreciated. This group is also in the process of helping with all the immigration process - but that too is very costly. Mr. Darovar is 64 years old and has no family here. Many people contribute to his daily existence - his rent is $600 monthly. The food and other expenses are not a huge problem up to now, but any donations would be welcomed.  Any assistance or direction you or your group would be able to provide, would be great.
