An update on David:

The one thing that has always been important to David is that he live in his home rather than in an institution.  However, the years of maintaining a live-in aide 24/7 (which he must have) and all of his other expenses has depleted his funds.  Without financial help, David is going to have to give up house and move into an institution - something he does not want to do.

Ben Wolford from the Sun-Sentinel wrote this article about David and his struggle to keep him home.
