Akua I am so sorry to hear that you have no services in your community to assist you. I live in small town (population just 6,000). We even have a taxi service as there are so many senior citizens living here you aren't able to drive. I am not sure about other services as I am not lucky to need them as I have family here.
I will pray that things change for you.
