New Vision

Those of you who know me well, know that all my life I have tried to do what I needed to do in spite of my disability.  And sometimes, it wasn't too pretty.  (I remember one time trying to fast-dance at a college dance where my mother was in attendance.  Afterwards she quietly reminded me that I "didn't need to do EVERYTHING").  So there are days when I get so frustrated with the New Welfare, that says that all you need to do is get someone to veryify you as "disabled" (and I use that term very loosely), you will never have to look at a clock again, and the rest of the world is now responsible for your wealth and happiness.

So it is with great pleasure that we are investigating and developing a new program (for us) called the Representative Payee.  It's a way of helping those receiving government funds to use them appropriately so as to give them a consistent way of live, instead of moving from crisis to crisis.  As charitable funds dry up, this will simply be the BEST way to help those folks.

And I am thrilled, excited and hopeful.  It will be a lot of work, and it won't be easy.  But I believe it IS the best I've ever been involved in!
