Summary: You believe you have identified the choices of the person you are supporting. Now where do you find the funding to make these things happen? The reality is that most folks are not looking for the Taj Mahal, or other extravagant things. Much of what they want to see in their lives are the typical things we take for granted. Where there are things that might need more creative funding is what this episode’s’ conversations revolve around. Folks share creative ways they have found to fund things that are either difficult to arrange funding for, or may take too long to put into place through traditional means.
