@Miss_Allison_D @d1s4b1l1ty @PattyHajdu @Pattyhajdu Is $1700/m enough for you to live on?! I��m receiving a combo of CCPD, Provincial Disability & CDB.

The BC Provincial Shelter portion of the benefit is only $500! That won’t even pay for a room in Canada now.

We live in government sanctioned POVERTY!

Please don't forget that the only difference between you and a disabled person is time. Even if the disability is temporary, it will happen in your lifetime. Disability is part of the human condition. Advocating for disability rights is advocating for your inevitable future.

The maximum payment for ODSP is $16,896 annually.

Bruce Fanjoy has launched a petition to require all federal party leaders to obtain and maintain top security clearance.

It's open for a couple of months.

@BibiBlossoms I was discharged 4 days after major abdominal surgery without pain meds, instructed to go to the in-hospital pharmacy, they didn’t have it, went home via Uber ALONE, woke up in severe pain hours later, had to WALK to new pharmacy in excruciating pain to fill my prescription.

Rent doesn't even just cost money anymore.

It costs excellent credit.
It costs making 3x the rent as a salary.

There are people living in expensive motels, cars, and Air BnBs because they have money but do not have the credit or 3x the rent income to get an apartment.

On the International Day of Persons with Disabilities we in Ontario need to recommit ourselves to building a province where everyone, regardless of ability, has the dignity of full inclusion.

[Jeff Leggat @AShoutAbout]

Twas the night before cheque day after five solid weeks,
No food in the cupboards, fridge, pantry or cheeks.
Why do we suffer with such little support,
Living in POVERTY, always running short.

AISH is being replaced with ADAP. A program that cuts benefits, tightens rules, and reduces appeal rights. Disabled Albertans are being pushed into deeper poverty.

@brianlilley I was a teen, a man broke into my house while I was in the bathtub, I managed to hide in the attic soaking wet. He stole valuables. I was the only one home.

Two years later it happened again while our family was away.

I grew up in the 70’s- 80’s so…
