It is truly amazing how in a month we have grown to 30,000 signatures and over 3,000 comments from caring people like you who've signed and also: parents and family members who will be directly affected, active duty and retired military, people who provide medical care directly to special needs children and even respite providers who help these very children and parents we are urgently trying to save this program for. I read every comment, so please know your signatures and comments are truly valued and have touched my heart, thank you so much. We really need to keep this petition going strong because we are on a time limit and we do not want to lose these services before they expire June 30, 2017. You've already proven you care by taking action so please take the extra step and reach your state Senator and Congressman/woman. Share this petition with everyone you know by email or social media, your local Facebook groups, Twitter. If you can, just $5 helps to contribute/promote so we can circulate to thousands of others and help get this out there! Anything you can do to help our military families means so much! This petition has such great potential to grow into a movement that will become a victory and never be put under threat again, thats why I need your help! Below are two links to your officials in your state, please write to them online so they know you stand for saving respite care for military special needs families! Search for your state officials in the search bar or enter your zip code, it will take you directly to their page. Email them directly and share your thoughts or share my petition to bring awareness directly to your elected officials. They need to hear your voice and the louder we are, the more they will be inclined to listen! Thank you again, your signatures and your help are genuinely appreciated by so many military families like ours that have hope this will be saved!
