John is actually getting to keep his services because they finally listened to us and backed off which still feels like a total fever dream even though I have it in writing now. I am honestly just shaking because for a while there I really thought they were going to …

For 39 years as a family we have fought for the individual rights for my brother who has severe challenging behaviour. Social services want to take away his right to access Adult Day Services; to socialise, to see his friends and to live an normal life as you and I. They want to cut his services completely. In this day and age when equality and discrimination are often talked about in the news, why is it he is being targeted? I'll tell you why because as per, government target the vulnerable! It's absolutely barbaric and heart wrenching as a family as we know how problematic this will be for John as he doesn't understand change. He is a little boy locked in a mans body. We Will Never Give Up The Fight as we are his mouthpiece! The fight for his rights continues!

John is just so confused by all the phone calls and meetings happening lately and I really wish I could just explain it to him without all the heavy legal talk (which honestly gives me such a headache). I am still waiting on a straight answer from the department but every time they send another email it just feels like more stalling while my brother sits there wondering when he can see his friends again.

Seeing this kind of energy for John is just overwhelming because honestly some days it feels like we are shouting into the void and nobody is listening. It really means everything to know people care about his right to exist comfortably and keep his routines intact. We are not stopping now because he deserves better than to be treated like a box to be checked off.
