Q84:  My husband was over in Korea and is a disabled veteran and cannot get help for nothing.  We live in Shelby North Carolina and the house we rent is falling down and the landlord will not fix anything.  My husband has a wheelchair and he will not fix the floors so my husband can get in the wheelchair in the bathroom or the rooms. Can anyone help us or just my husband?
