I have no money to pay truck repair to replace alternator, I don't have home.I am deaf old man from Heber City, Utah because I can't call them to help me to pay truck repair, because I'm DEAF.

Like my husband, you are going to need to go to Social Services in person or the facilities Geaton mentioned. There is help but its up to you to find it. Your County should have an Office of Aging.

This is the senior center in Heber City. They can help you out if you visit them in person, or tell you where you can get more help. Good luck to you.

call 211 and area of aging.

Chances are they have a senior bus program. In most places, it’s a van not an actual bus, 🚌

Do you have nowhere else to live besides this truck?
