(Cheryl Humphrey lives in a south side condo and gets home care from Creekside Support Services. The provincial government is not renewing the CSS contract and is appointing a new contractor. This is Ms. Humphrey's response to health minister Fred Horne.)
Letter to Minister of
Health
Why are you doing this to
us? Life is hard! You have just made our lives much harder in many ways.
This ‘paint brush’ approach
of severe changes and cutbacks, without consultation or input from our large
segment of the population informs us that we are considered “second class
citizens”.
Before making changes such
as this please try to consider and visualize what life is like living in a
wheelchair or struggling to walk.
Our quality of life is greatly determined by the quality of care
available and accessible to us.
Our quality of care and life also largely determines to what extent we
are able to be contributing members of society and tax payers.
Cheryl Humphrey
