Request From ADAPT
September 13th, 2005 by RespiteMatch.comDear Colleague,
ADAPT is headed to DC, September 17-22, http://www.adapt.org/bulletin.htm .
We’re in the process of gathering stories about people with disabilities impacted by Katrina. We’re particularly interested in people who utilize home and community based services (HCBS). Since last week advocates have been visiting evacuees in nursing homes and when possible, shelters. Some of the people PLACED in nursing homes were living in there own home. Our concern is without advocacy and service coordination they could get stuck.
If you are aware of specific people having this or related experiences, PLEASE send Marsha Katz, adaptmt@aol.com, information (names, brief explanation of situation and contact information) ASAP.
Remember we need specifics.
Free Our People,
ADAPT
