On Behalf of Brett Gillum
 

We are friends of the Gillum family whose grandchild qualifies for services via the Technology-Assisted Medicaid Waiver.  We have been told of the benefits the waiver provides, especially vital needs such as home nursing care and medical supplies.  Most importantly, their home nursing care is the key component to their daily ability to hold steady jobs, manage a household and create a functional lifestyle.  As their work and personal life revolve around the nurses who help care for Brett, missed nursing shifts have a huge, real impact on their lives.  It would be a blessing to this precious family to balance the hours by the week instead of by the day.

Please prayerfully consider this and your decision process will be in our prayers as well.

Mark and Donna Pearson
