Save Our Choice: Protect Self-Directed Supports in Missouri

We need this! I need xtra help!

My son is a recipient of self directed services as well and this program helps so many people.

Our family is being affected by this!! It so so sad! That they think individuals with Disabilities don't deserve the best care available to them!

Special needs mom of 24 year old .

They deserve the life we all take for granted.

My daughter was born with no cerebellum, deaf , legally blind , intellectually behind . I am a single dad . I have to work to keep a roof over our head . I need these two caregivers that my daughter has to achieve these goals . These 2 people are amazing . Not only do they teach my daughter the things listed on her ISP but truly love her . They are able to calm her down when she has her meltdowns which consist of hitting , kicking , spitting , .Alexis has lost many people in her life in the last couple of years . A grandmother a grandfather, her mom , her sister and brother and two Aunts . She can’t endure 2 more . The people she has taking care of her and had given her stability . I want to keep my daughter at home with me and not institutionalize her because of these cuts .her caregivers are both single moms who will not be able to pay their bills if this budget cut goes thru .Alexis will lose them and have another loss in her life . I am begging you to please give these children dignity and the safeness feeling at home . Thank you

Why take money away from people that need it? This helps people with disabilities. Take the money away from politicians pay. Let's stop paying them so much and give back to the people.

Removing these services creates a greater need and cost in the future.

Please support our disabled citizens in Missouri!

It's a shame that the people who govern us want to institutionalize the most vulnerable in our communities, and it's clear that none that govern have been affected by disability and the abuse that typically follows group homes. If these individuals have caregivers who are willing and able to provide 24/7/365 care, then leave them with said caregiver and give the caregiver the funds to have a living wage!

I work for a State agency for the Development Disabilities. Please don’t restrict support for these individuals and programs

By cutting these funds you are denying these kids and adults a chance in life.

Keep SDS funded. It’s the right thing to do both morally and fiscally!

Please do NOT change the SDS in Missouri!

This is very important!

Please help keep my family safe and together.

Please protect and save our people! They need all support!!

We care about Pati and her girls and all the families in similar situations

Stop these awful cuts hurting people!!!

Freedom of choice is a core right.
