Care for the Disabled

This is a topic that has been on my mind before but seeing yet another 'story' on a nightly news program, brought back just how in need they are...

It is so sad to see that young people who are disabled, either from birth or due to a head injury, are placed into Nursing Homes...I understand this is all that is available and that they do their best to give the 24 hour care required but it has been said by families, that they are not able to obtain vitally needed physiotherapy, to help them slowly gain back, the use of their bodies.

Funds are desperately needed , so that specially built 'homes' can be built for these young people, who should be allowed to live together in a bright and happy place...to have fun and to be out in the sunshine, whenever possible...as stated also, on the news program.

Some families have pooled their resources in one area, to make such a home possible but this is not always financially possible for others...and so the responsibility has fallen onto the family, who struggle with this daily care, in their own homes...

I wish there was an easy answer, perhaps the corporate sector could include this, when deciding who and what charity to help each year...that would be wonderful...

Something we all need to think about for " There But For the Grace of God, Go I ".

It is on my wish list of people to help, should I ever have the means to do so...

In fact this is close to my heart more than ever now, with a friend who may or maynot recover from an injury to her brain and who may need such care...

I hope everyone has a great week and take care.
