Finding low-cost help to file bankruptcy

Dear Dr. Don,
I am a 44-year-old disabled woman (post polio) with one child. I receive SSI and SSD. I try to do everything on the little money we receive, but it is really hard to make ends meet and pay off these credit cards....

I am really confused about what to do and how to go about filing with little or no money. Can anyone tell me where I can go and who can I talk to for this help? I live in New York City and I am very limited with my traveling. (I am in a wheelchair.) If anyone knows of a place or a person that can help me for little or no money, please let me know.

NY government to make all handicapped permits equally valid

Currently, any New York City resident who has a handicapped parking permit can use that permit in designated spaces in any state and in Canada. But a parking permit issued by any other county or state is not valid in New York City. In an attempt to fix this imbalance, one local senator has announced that a bill on the permits has passed in the New York State Senate.
