[Faith-talk] Another leg of the journey for Jenni

[Ericka]

Yeah I know it was incredibly horrifying to me! You would think they would at least give her the phone number for her local independent living center and let them answer her questions. I feel the same way-I just want to call and chew their butts out. I know Illinois is in deep financial crisis, but it doesn't cost them anything to give her the phone number for Catholic charities and other nonprofit, non-state run places that might help. Our state calls those centers aging and disability resource centers. They do some visiting of people in their homes to check on eligibility for some programs, but mainly their job is to answer the phone and send people resources for their situation in the most usable format. Most of the time I just emailed them and they respond back. I just don't understand Illinois!

She has a good church and friends and obviously a very kind building manager that helps her. If I found doctors that I trusted it would be tough for me to uproot and leave them as well.
