Raye Ruff, 61, is suffering the effects of T.B.I. due to one stroke and two car accidents. His wife tells News 12 the couple needs a first-floor apartment because Ruff can no longer get up and down the stairs, leaving him stuck on the second floor.
Sen. Richard Blumental says he'll try to help the veteran get the accommodations he's entitled to under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
