Save Our Choice: Protect Self-Directed Supports in Missouri

Jody Haney

I’m protecting my disabled sons right to live at home and in his community.

I am currently an SDS employee caring for my elderly aunt with Down syndrome. Her health as declined and she needs constant attention, however I can’t afford to have a pay decrease with the current economic increase in the cost of living. Both my aunt as a disabled person in need of care and myself providing for my family, rely on the funding from sds.

Our disabled need our help

Please keep the self directed programs in Missouri. These are really needed for these unfortunate people and their caregivers.

i use self directed for my son to get individual attention and to take him out in community. he has grown more independent with his isn staff teaching him how to be in the community

Please understand that Fiscal Responsibility has deeper meaning finding what's "cheap" and slashing budgets. It requires thoughtfulness in regards to impacts to humans in bith short and long term.

Please save SDS. I will lose pa’s if you cut wages. My life is important and I save Missouri a lot of money by utilizing SDS.

Please save SDS in Missouri!

This is such an important program for so many people. This cut will be detrimental to do many families.

I support SDS

Hey Scott, Lorie have.

this is unfair for so many families and individuals

My aunt is 36 and has special needs that requires her to have 24/7 care and supervision. Our family has used SDS services for over a decade. These funding cuts would have a detrimental effect on her quality of life. Please reconsider.

Keep our SDS services! They are crucial for my kids success!

Individuals with increased needs deserve support they can access in the most direct way possible. Please stand up for your neighbors who need your support!

Budget cuts will affect my family. My son gets SDS.

This would not be good.

Please continue to help these families!!!
