Not trying to get political...

Dear Life,


I don't like talking politics.  
We all have our own ideas, agenda's and goals in life.
But I hope you can take the time to read this post.  
For my family, it will be the difference between life and death.
Okay maybe not quite life or death,
But the difference between Kumaka having the CHANCE to walk...
or being FORCED to wheel.
This petition:
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/SaveCCS-therapy/ 


is to help ALL families receive much needed physical and occupational therapy.
Without it, the state is trying to cut the budget for therapy so that only income qualified families will receive it. 
The income threshold is VERY low.
We won't qualify.
Insurance does not cover physical therapy and occupational therapy.
Watch these videos of Kumaka to see what therapy has done for him.


First they taught him to crawl.




Without them, he wouldn't be able to crawl.


Then they started teaching him to walk.












We take these things for granted.  Remember when you taught your kids to crawl, and then walk?  You didn't need any extra devices, any trained therapist to teach them. 


Without therapy, Kumaka would be stuck in a chair.  He would have no options.  Kids like him deserve a chance.  Please take the one minute it takes to sign this petition.  Even if it doesn't affect you.  It affects more people than you know.  We appreciate it!
