When PWP's are PUSHED to their LIMITS
Hello BERNARD, ] LEt me say from the outset that theren are liens stil unpaid on my home, and that I do not have to justify beig ust marginally able to keep itup. And my income is $728.oo US per month. : At ISSUE HERE IS UNDERSTANDING HOW threatened A PWP FEELS WHEN he or she is pushed TO THE LIMITS I am THERE NOW. I AM THREATENED now. I have NO PCA tonight, tomorow, or Thursday. I wsa hospitalized FRiday, only because i had no PCA. I face an ongoing economic threat- the unheard of proposed PCA pay of $0.93 per hour($8.50 per nght)- It is hardly better now at $$1.67/hour ($15 per night) for the PCA's. I am alsoin a group of men and women who are economically disadvntaged and living with disabilities and diseases who are trying to get a meeting wih Maine's Governor, Angus King, this week. COMMITTING ONESEL:F TO overcoming not just the vicissitudes , but also thE constant and draining ECONOMIC INJUSTICEs of PD, which many poorer PWP's will eventually experience is what I am experiencing at this time. Sincerely
