55. I am going to check in for the people
Edited on Wed Nov-17-04 09:32 PM by jwirr
like my daughter who cannot do it themselves and have no voice except their parent/guardians. My Terri is developmentally disabled, has epilesy, is fed through a tube, cannot talk, walk, dress herself, is not potty trained, needs to have help turning and transferring and in general needs total care. Her illness is most likely the result of farm chemical contamination in the drinking water. I tell you this because many times she and her group are forgotten in this world. WHEN THE bushies TALK ABOUT WELFARE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE PROGRAMS THAT HELP TO TAKE CARE OF THE LEAST OF THESE. We need to organize here as a forum that can ask the other members of DU to back us when we need it.
