Ensure Free Physiotherapy and Support for Children with Cerebral Palsy


Ensure Free Physiotherapy and Support for Children with Cerebral Palsy
The Issue
Our children, like many other children, have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. This condition affects muscle control and movement, making everyday activities a challenge for these young ones. It is a struggle that no child should have to face alone or unsupported. However, the high cost of physiotherapy and support services often puts them out of reach for many families.
Cerebral palsy affects approximately 17 million people worldwide (World Health Organization). In the US alone, it's estimated that nearly 764,000 people have one or more symptoms of this condition (CDC). Yet despite these numbers, access to necessary treatments such as physiotherapy remains limited due to financial constraints.
This petition calls on our government to ensure free physiotherapy and support services for all children aged 0-16 living with cerebral palsy. By doing so we can help improve their quality of life significantly while alleviating some of the financial stress faced by their families.
Please join us in advocating for these children who deserve every opportunity to thrive despite their diagnosis. Sign this petition today!
