Save Our Choice: Protect Self-Directed Supports in Missouri

My child depends on these services. The ONLY help we receive due to living in rural Missouri. We love our rural community and our state but this can not happen to us!

We have to stop these unreasonable cuts that are hurting Missourians.

If this governor truly cared about his constituents this would not be happening.

I also have a son with disabilities and I’m worried for his future.

I am a med PA and I am concerned for not only for the future care for my patient that I have been caring for, for 8 years! I am also concerned for my own ability to be able to survive. I have a family of 3 kids and my husband in the home and I have already given up all benefits that any other full time job in the state of Missouri provides to continue caring for my patient, I cannot afford a pay cut of 33% of my wages as well. This is devastating to the people who are already the most vulnerable.

Three children, ALL WITH AUTUSM, who are affected in their daily lives.

Stop cutting the services real Missourians need! We have been under a republican rule for over 20 years and now this governor is a trump puppet for the regime. Enough! Stop harming children that can be a wage earner with the services Kehoe wants to cut. Elitists!

Please. Care for the kids.

This will affect my ability to care for my son in ways you cannot comprehend. All who vote for any reduction to the supports for the neediest in our community/society will have to answer for their actions at some point.

Missourians must fight Gov K in many areas!

the cruelty of this action is just pure evil!! help people be independent… our communities thrive when the inhabitants are given opportunities to be the best they can be!!!

It is always better that children stay with their families. Which billionaire is going to profit off institutionalizing the disabled? Always follow the money.

We've struggled for 18 years to have consistent support for our son. The red tape is so thick that I think it goes into the earth's core

Also a parent of an autistic child.

A true patriot takes care of all citizens

My 45 yr old,w/ MR & DD, now renamed ID, lost his job of 23 years, and is not receiving his SSDI. AND WE PAY OUT OF POCKET THE SKY HIGH PART B MEDICARE ,THAT THE GOV'T MANDATES WE HAVE AT A COST OF MORE THAN $3,000 YRLY. NOT TO MENTION PART D cost and Dr visits. Help! We need SSDI Reinstated to be able to meet everyday essential needs. Thank you for listening!

Resources are already limited! We have been waiting for 12 years to get the services my autistic son needs. Please don’t cut the very little available.

My 28 year old daughter needs 24/7 care due to being hit by a drunk driver when she was 18. The courts have declared her permanently and totally disabled. She already took a cut this year with her SS mm to hitting the cap, so until that cap is increased, she will never get any cost of living increase. She has 3 staff so I can work. I need that staff and so does she! Staff doesn’t get vacation, holiday pay, insurance or overtime pay. They haven’t gotten raises in 3-4 years due to no increase in her budget. Governor, please do not cut the services that are vital to my daughter and many others using self directed support!

Please do not cut any services that help these children. It’s hard enough on the parents keeping their child at home

We need more support for people with disabilities not less
