Tamara~~

Im in wisconsin too, I know jenna is on a list right

now (number 41, which means about 4 more years)that

would give 3000.00 per year for things she needs.

Im wondering if it is the same program. Its called

something like the one you mentioned...family support.

Im wondering why the difference in amounts.

I could really use that money right now!

: Ebony has been getting family support money for three years now. It

is a great help. She is also on the waiting list for COP (?) and has been

for a couple of years. It is my understanding that once she gets into that

program, she will recieve a larger dollar amount of help as it covers more

things. We didn't have a waiting list for family support though. We have

used this money for lots of things, including my trip to PA for a conference

where I met Jacquie, , BJ and Grace. Also, this is the second set of

fencing we have used. We just found out that our landlord wants us to

remove the chain link fencing we put in here, so we are going to use that to

put around the front of the house. It won't work to keep her in as she can

climb it, but it will slow her down if she gets out the front door.

This year we used some money to purchase the equipment needed for Ebony's

sound therapy. It sure does come in handy. I hope you guys see some of

this really soon.

WOW, now how weird is this...jenna is already

on COP...but on a waiting list for the Family Support..

I get help with respite,phone bill, cellphone, internet,

and like computer games, printer ribbon, stuff like that

from the COP program.

I wonder why this is so different for both of us, being

in the same state! I'd rather be on the other list...lol

Good luck with all your fencing!! And thanks for the

info!
