How do i find friends for a young man who is confined to his house and cannot walk due to a illness ?

my brother is 28 years old. he used to lead a normal life until he was detected as suffering from mitochondrial cytopathy which eventually curtailed his ability to walk, and also caused some other difficulties in regular functions. he is shy but friendly and regular ayurvedic treatment with physiotherapy has brought some positive changes in his attitude and personality. we tried many times to get an employment for him but even the bank for which he worked is unwilling to cooperate and provide a suitable employment to him. except for my parents with whom he lives he has few friends. the kind physiotherapist has kindled a hope of recovery in him. but i wanted to know if i can find individuals with a charitable disposition who will make friends with him and help to speed up his recovery-- that is to provide him moral support.


as understandable he needs outsiders as he is perhaps fed of his family repeating same consolations. how do i find such people with noble intentions?

Hi...





I'm sorry your brother has become so debilitated.





You didn't mention whether he has good functioning in hands/arms. If so, maybe he could take some classes? If he is creative, he might try art or even some writing or literature class. Or computer classes, etc.





Your brother could also contact social services in your area, to see what activities there might be for handicapped people in your immediate area... He might get involved with the local school for handicapped children in some way? Again, you didn't say how he gets around (wheelchair?) or how his other limbs function.





I sure hope your brother can find something to do and an interest.





I am disabled, but not nearly to the extent of your brother, and i will eventually recover..... meanwhile, i have unleashed my creative abilities and list my artwork on Ebay. I am also a member of an Ebay art discussion group. It's much fun and gives me a feeling of accomplishment, and socialization.





Sending all best wishes and a hug for your brother. take care.
Reply:In your local area, are there any clubs or societies for people who are in your brothers position?. There are some excellent groups for disabled people, which can help him build up a social life again with people who understand what he's going through. Many of these places also organise trips and stuff, to keep the members active and happy.





I wish your brother all the best in his recovery and I hope it's a very speedy one! :).
