need to raise money to move

Donation protected
I am a disabled veteran with a spinal cord injury that has left me paralyzed from the chest down. I am extremely active and donate my time in helping my fellow vets. I was a teacher, but on the way to go teach (because I couldn't afford a car I got a cheap motorcycle) a car drove across the highway and took me out. I spent a year in a half fighting for my life, and eventually rehab. It's been four years and I won't be able to work again. I live off my Va and social security benefits. It has been a long devastating road in which I am now stuck all alone in San Antonio Texas. Then two months ago my cousin who is selflessly raising 8 children saw from facebook how lonely I was, and knowing I wanted my own children desperately, invited me to help her. This is my one chance at finding a real family I can call my own. I asked a national veteran nso for help, but was declined. Even though for the last two years I have served on their board and helped many veterans in all forms of need. I have sold all of my furniture and will have to pawn a lot of equipment both sporting and medical that I have acquired over these past years. I am asking for any help from whoever in helping me move to Red Bluff, CA to assist in raising my cousins children with her. I may not have much in life, but I do have a lot of love to give, and these kids are worth every drop they have had a real hard life and could use me. I would not ask my friends and community for help, I humble myself before you, if this couldn't really change these children's lives, and a lonely old crippled vets as well. Thank you for reading my story, I thank you in advance for anything that can be given.
