IHSS lets me take care of my severely disabled husband at home. These cuts would be devastating to us. Especially the asset limits which would force us to live in extreme poverty in order to continue to get these life saving services. If you depend on IHSS, your life is tough enough as it is! Please don’t take away that safety net for the most vulnerable.
Guadalupe supported: Reverse Proposed Cuts to MediCal and IHSS in CaliforniaI barely started the IHSS program, but I can tell you it has helped a lot. I have 3 brother in laws that are disabled and being able to help them is enough for me, but being able to have an income is a blessing. The IHSS program is essential because it helps people with disabilities.
Michael supported: Reverse Proposed Cuts to MediCal and IHSS in CaliforniaI am a parent of twins with autism, and IHSS has been essential in allowing me to stay home and provide the care they need. With multiple therapy appointments each week and constant supervision required, it would be impossible to balance a full-time job and still meet their needs without this support.
If there are cuts to Medi-Cal or a cap placed on IHSS overtime, it would directly and severely impact our family. Not only would our income drop significantly, but I would be forced to choose between working and providing the hands-on care my children with disabilities require. These services are not luxuries—they are lifelines for families like mine. Please protect IHSS and Medi-Cal funding.
Antoinette supported: Reverse Proposed Cuts to MediCal and IHSS in CaliforniaWe are newly starting the IHSS caregiver process, but I can already tell you it will be a life saver. As a mom to a child that’s autistic and non speaking, it’s so difficult to entrust strangers to take care of your child. We have one family member who helps us, but as my child ages and his needs get more complex, he needs me home to take care of him full time. I have to be able to homeschool, take him to therapies, etc. Programs like this are essential to families of children with disabilities.
Kayla supported: Reverse Proposed Cuts to MediCal and IHSS in CaliforniaI am a single mother caring for my disabled son. He will never be able to care for himself and relies on me to provide for him. IHSS allows for him to be at home where he is loved and cared for properly. It would be detrimental to his well being to lose this funding.
Jill supported: Reverse Proposed Cuts to MediCal and IHSS in CaliforniaPlease don't do this to our community. As a country and state we can't afford more cuts. I am very fearful of what is becoming of our society. Jobcorps, a program for disadvantaged youth was recently shut down leaving many homeless. We need humanitarian services. For more than one reason. My sister has Dementia. We need to provide for her 24/7. She has already been abused by strangers. I need to be with her to give her the care that she needs.
Roxanne supported: Reverse Proposed Cuts to MediCal and IHSS in CaliforniaMy daughter is 23 and autistic. She is one of the ones that requires 24 hour supervision the cuts to ihss would severely impact our lives. Cutting hours means I would likely have to try a part time job and risk my daughter regressing and with her self harming it could have consequences. The lack of child care especially for non verbal special needs is a serious problem and should be considered before cutting hours of people who will sacrifice to stay home with their kids. California is considered a privilege state because of these programs hence higher taxes on everything and I pay them. I stay in this state because of these programs pay the higher taxes if you start cutting what is the point in staying here. Then no one will pay your taxes
Rachel supported: Reverse Proposed Cuts to MediCal and IHSS in CaliforniaI am writing to you today as a deeply concerned parent and caregiver. I’ve recently learned about the proposed cuts to medical services and In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) hours, and I am pleading with you to reconsider. These cuts will not only hurt countless families across the state they will personally devastate mine.
My daughter has autism and requires 24-hour care. The support we currently receive through IHSS and medical programs is vital to her well-being and safety. Without it, I don’t know how we will manage. I am her primary caregiver, and the support allows me to care for her at home, where she feels safe and supported.
Reducing these services will have a direct and painful impact on our lives. It will place an impossible burden on families like mine who are already doing everything we can to care for our loved ones. It’s not just numbers on a budget it’s about real people who need help to live with dignity and stability.
Please, do not make these cuts. Stand with families like mine who depend on these services to survive and to care for those who cannot care for themselves. We are counting on your compassion and leadership.
Sincerely,
Christina Franco

Soy madre de una hija con necesidades especiales, el IHSS ha permitido que ella tenga los cuidados que requiere es una chica no verbal con comportamientos,devido a su condición necesita cuidados personles mas enfocados a su bienestar, los recortes a los programas de Medical y el IHSS serán devastadores para ella, ya que hay pocos proveedores, nadie conose mejor las necesidades de mi hija que yo como madre.
Estos programas han permitido que ella tega una vida de mejor calidad, mi petición para nuestros congrecistas es que no hayan recortes a dichos programas por que son vitales para la atención que necesita,ella y muchas personas que son clientes y proveedores de estos programas, también de muchos que son beneficiarios por los programas de atención médica y de IHSS. Seria contraproducente tambien para el gobierno ya que habria muchas demendas por servicios mal aplicados, tendrian mas gastos en las cortes, devido al poco personal habra muchas practicas mal aplicadas por los proveedores eso con llevaria a muchas demandas a las agencias.
Saldrá mas caro resolver los conflictos al gobierno y a las cortes.
Como padres queremos lo mejor para muestros hijos es por eso que estamos levantando la voz abogando por una vida digna y mejor para ellos, le pido a nuestros gobernantes que no realicen cambios a los programas de Medical ni al IHSS.
Deseó ser escuchada como muchas de las personas que estamos levantando la voz.
