 AC> Ed, we called the number, but it isn't the right one....at least that is
 AC> what they told us....can you check and see.
Ann,  that's  the  number  that I called when  I  left  my  first message.
Okay,  well I called the number just now and that is  indeed  the correct 
number.  In my conversation with the 'owner' of the Polio Survivors  
Foundation   (PSF)  just now  I  got  some  additional information.   The  
only  person I've spoken  with,  and  whom  I believe  to  be the impetus 
behind the organization, is  Ms.  Lee Seitz.   I  didn't  want to post her  
name  on-line  without  her permission,  and  I now have that.  PSF is a  
small  organization whose  all  volunteer  staff  is  comprised  entirely  of 
  polio survivors.  They currently serve 3 counties in California,  which are 
Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura.  Their address is:
     Polio Survivors Foundation
     18700 Sherman Way
     Reseda, CA 91335
Lee  Seitz told me that PSF is entirely funded by donations  from the  
public, no government funding is involved.  PSF was set  up, in  part at 
least, because the population of polio  survivors  is aging  and  the  lack 
of organizations willing  to  help  provide wheelchairs,   braces,  lifts  
and  other  appliances  to   polio survivors.   It is by design that there is 
no red tape  involved.  Lee  Seitz  told me that although PSF, as  currently  
structured, serves  only  the 3 counties mentioned, she would  like,  and  is 
willing  to help, to set up branches of PSF in other  states.   I told  her  
that I would post that information  here  on-line  and  relay  any  responses 
back to her.  Oh, one more thing,  the  PSF office is in the middle of a 
move, the calls are forwarded to her home  where  the  answering machine 
doesn't  answer  with  "Polio Survivors Foundation," but with her name.  Not 
sure, but that may have been what caused the confusion with the phone number.
Ann, I don't know if I can ever forgive you for giving me such  a scare.   
The thought that I may have sent the wrong phone  number around the world 
caused me to have a panic attack.  Just kidding.  Lee is a very nice lady, 
give her a call.  Best to you and yours, Take care.
