Wonderful story, thanks for sharing. It's an outrage that a disabled person is expected to live independently on $661 a month. Even in Canada where we have social assistance and state healthcare the disability pensions here are abysmal. I spent my adolescent years growing up with a single disabled mother and that's pretty much all she gets to this day; less than minimum wage. If it wasn't for me working long hours after school and the alimony from my estranged father we wouldn't have made it. It's frustrating that she cannot live close to where her primary health care providers practice and cannot even get to them on her own any more. I wish we'd spend less money as a society on jails and war and more on eliminating poverty and researching ways to enhance the human condition.
