I offer advice and personal assistance solely based on my educational background and many years of experience. Advice and information received can be used as a source of direction. The ILR directories were personally created to support persons with disabilities, senior citizens, and those with other health related needs. This is, however, not an endorsement of any of the programs, products, or services listed unless specifically noted as those of Michael True or TruEnergy Enterprises.
