You've got a point. I wish I could do all of this on my own. OCB has been willing to step in after my employment to help me, but I know that many organizations don't. They do sign over expensive equipment which you are then responsible for getting repaired regardless of your income. I don't like to be baby sat, don't get me wrong, but I'm glad I have some assistance. I think that many do need to assess what they would do without these organizations. You've got me thinking now.
