I would like to recommend you take the time to read an outstanding article I came across over the weekend. It is found at www.friendshipcommunity.net.
The article is entitled "This Is My Story. (As the Song Goes)" and it is written by Myron Otto. Myron tells about his life with a disability and how he has overcome it to live a blessed and productive life. His is a most inspiring story that is living proof why we need adequate funding available from the State to enable more persons like Myron to live and work independently within their means. There are literally thousands of other person in Pennsylvania alone who could live a similar life if only they were given the chance.
Perhaps you know of someone like Myron who a success story as well. Please share your story with us by posting your comments below. More people need to know that having a disability does not mean one cannot function successfully. With the proper financial assistance together with the emotional and behavioral support required the disabled can indeed be effective contributors to society. All this is in jeopardy, however, as Federal and State legislators look for ways to trim the budgets and eliminate funding. Don't let this happen! Write today to you elected officials and demand that services continue and even increase for these people. In the long run it will prove to be an investment that pays huge dividends for all!
