I NEED SPACE



The State of Missouri.
Are you Listening?
I need space.

Missouri has to do a better job
As far as government housing goes.
Don't penalize me because I am on Medicaid.
I  need space.

Wider doorways.
Wider hallways
Big bathrooms too.
To accommodate lifts, powerchairs, and caregivers
I need space.

Obviously, the State has no idea.
The needs of a powerchair or manual chair user.
I need space.

What if there's a fire?
I need to get out fast.
A narrow hallway,  I can't get past.
I need space.

The State's solution?
Move into the house.
The State needs to see that there is a need. 
Before they agree to make the necessary changes.
Then move out while renovations are being done.
Then move back in.
I need space.

Move three times?
Missouri's out of their minds?
Do they realize how hard that would be?
I don't think they do.
I need space.

I have one question before I am done.
It's for my state representatives.,
Would you want your loved one to move three times?
I need space.

This post is titled  I Need Space.
A more accurate title would have been, "We Need Space."
Because all of us who use mobility aids do.




I urge you to call your representatives of the State of  Missouri,
Tell them...
We Need space.

Contact your state legislators: LWV Of Missouri |
