Disability Dialogue

Founder of Disability Dialogue- Society is stronger when it inucludes all of it's citizen.
I was in the process of helping a girl in a wheelchair get help since she was evicted and her landlord kept her chair, he probably sold it. I was really making progress on my end, the housing director in Lancaster even requested more information. Suddenly I stopped seeing her. I guess the girl didn’t expect any progress to have been made. Her new situation has become worse. I wouldn’t let her leave my area until I gave her all the info and contact her her another time. Maybe it will work out for her someday, it may just take time. She never advocated for herself and it's a skill to learn and practice.
