OKLAHOMA CITY ( KFOR ) – A car crash left Gailina Grissom partially paralyzed and now, she relies on a wheelchair or a cane to get around.
“You have to just realize the fact that you can’t do the same things that you could do before,” said Grissom. “It’s tough.”

Adding to the day to day challenges she already faces, Grissom says problems for her at the Raindance Apartment Homes in Northwest Oklahoma City started last October.
“There’s a car parked directly in front of the sidewalk where there’s a curb cut. That’s the only curb cut on this side of the building for me to get through,” said Grissom. “So, I have to get out of my wheelchair, fold it and walk around the car. It’s painful. It’s hard.”
After about four months of going back and forth with the complex’s management, Grissom says a “No parking, tow away zone” sign was finally installed a week or two ago.
Unfortunately, the programs don’t stop there.
“The railing that’s in my wall for when I’m going up the stairs, it continues to fall off the wall,” said Grissom. “They don’t have the correct equipment.”
