I felt compelled to share something I just read in my Cerebral Palsy Magazine - March 2009. It is an article that talks about how difficult it is for people with a mobility affected life to find help with bathing, feeding, dressing, meal preparation etc. I hope Fiona will never need these services, but as a human being, I am concerned about the problem and found the comments about unemployment interesting.
"With unemployment hitting record highs, why is our disabled community still suffering for help? Most everyone you meet can assist a mobility disabled individual, but will they? Using private survey statistics for disability daycare, eldercare, TBI and stroke facilities - the independent survey results show 95% of Americans would let their home go into foreclosure before doing this type of work." Shocking!
"There are still immigrants coming to this country in large numbers. Why? Is it because there are jobs? They are mainly jobs that Americans have no interest in doing..."
Fiona is wide awake and watching TV again.
