oppose the soft cap on consumer direct hires
 

Being a single working parent with full physical custody of two kids on waivers is hardship enough. one of my children;s disability causes him to be untrustworthy of people and he has medical conditions that make it so I have to fully screen and train staff myself for safetly reasons. Capping the hours will make it very hard for me to work full time as I need help in the mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends. It is not a 9-5 job - though I commute 3 hours round trip four days a week and then work evenings and weekends, very often. I also have my own health issues that make it so more help is needed when I am not well. Capping the hours will threaten my job and my health. my kids need their mom to work more than full time and to stay healthy to be here for them,
