Save Our Choice: Protect Self-Directed Supports in Missouri

Pati sigma is the sole caregiver of her daughter this funding keeps her at home with the family

fund SDS

Please reconsider cutting funds. I realize there is a need to cut funds somewhere but not with these funds.

Please Reconsider the impact you are imposing on families who already have massive mental and physical load. We are compelled to care for our vulnerable community, not tax them further.

Don't cut SDS.

Please help them

DONT DO THIS TO THESE GIRLS!!

Please consider keeping the funding in place for Self Directed Services.

This bill is harmful to the very families it claims to "try" helping. Please do not vote for this bill as it stands.

Help protect and advocate for our vulnerable populations.

For Pati

I am acquainted with Pati Sigman , and her family situation and she desperately needs the proposed reform in this bill NOT to be passed, so that she can continue to be the caretaker of her own disabled daughter, which seems the best choice for her care, and not have to be put into some institution… please do not pass this reform that is being proposed!!! I’m sure there are several other families out there caring for their own disabled children, which in most cases would always be the best care they could get…. Please reconsider this reform and keep things as they are.

My Self Directed Hours literally make it possible to live. Before I was able to offer a living wage, I had people leaving me in bed, stealing from me, not showing up, and doing drugs in my bathroom. We deserve to have people we can trust in our homes. We deserve to know that we’re going to be able to get out of bed in the mornings. We deserve to live in our own homes with those we choose to have in it. We deserve to have the opportunity to live like those without a disability. We deserve to have choices just like everyone else!

Please stop defunding these programs that are so beneficial to Missouri families.

I know this family and several families like this.

If this passes, I know so many family's that this will impact in a negative way. Our loved ones deserve to be taken care of by family members in their homes.

I know several families personally that would be negatively impacted by this!!!

This family critically needs all the help and support they can get. It would be detrimental to them to lose this!!

This family is so sweet and so caring!! The smile on these ladies face makes my heart happy!! They deserve everything in this world.

I know families who need this funding to stay in place.
