Char-sui Blanket Scope

It's time, folks. They are deciding the fates of many a Cali couple as we speak...write.

I wrote two emails and 4 letters to various questionable authorities about the recent cut-backs in my state that are savaging the services of vulnerable adults. Part of it went like this:

Please consider this: two of the families I work with have come here from other countries, I spite of the personal cost, to receive the attention and simple aloha available in Hawai'i from programs like the Arc. In one of these families, the only person who is truly bilingual is also an almost completely nonverbal autistic young man. How can a family like this reasonably expect to appeal this decision, no matter how convincing the case? There is a reason why this place we live is special, and the cuts we have made do not reflect that. They are short-sighted at best and cruel at worst, and there is no sense of aloha in what has been done.

I was a better writer once upon a time, but I like to think my passion makes up for my incompetence. I feel better, anyway.

that's private, ese.
