In-Home and Family Support is
a unique, user-friendly government
program Families are not subjected
to miles of red tape, mountains of
forms to fill out and constant inter-
views. It is a investment in and an
affirmation of people with disabili-
ties who want to live at home and
the families who support them.
For us. In-Home and Family
Support has made a huge difference
in the quallity of our lives. Like-
wise, it has provided help and hope
to more than 5,000 i ndividuals with
disabilities and their families. Cur-
rently. Texas MHMR has almost
3,900 on waiting lists for this valu-
ableprogram. The agency has asked
the Legislature to provide addi-
tional funding so thousands more
Texans can benefit from In-Home
and Family Support. We cannot
think of any more efficient or pro-
ductive way to spend the taxpayer's
dollars.

Becker also issued an invitation
for civic and church organizations
to conduct a small hind-raising
project for the hospital.
"If they do. we'll get the station
right behind it for some really good
publicity and public relations for
the organization or club "
Organizers of special events are
urged to call the radio station at

pital at (210) 228-2734 for support
"The plan is," said Becker, "to
have individuals and business

gone to pay for respite care for Jess
Now, we are able to go out a few
evenings a month and occasionally
take our other son. now 6, on a few
excursions We have also used some
of the money for speech therapy
classes for Jess.
We used the one-time $\60()i

stnictural changes in our home. We
have a three-story house, which has
meant carry ing Jess in his wheel-1
chair up flights of stains. We have;
been able to install an elevator, add I
a wheelchair-accessible bathroom |
and add storage space for Jess' equip-
ment. The one-time payment did
not cover all the expenses of the
modifications, but it helped enor-
mously.

When our son Jess was born
eight years ago. our lives changed
forever Of course, every parent
learns that his life is never the same
after the birth of a child But with
Jess, we faced a host of challenges
many mothers and fathers do not
Jess has cclcbral palsy, lives his life
in a wheelchair, has vision difficul-
ties and a seizure disorder He has
trouble communicating and doing
anything for himself In short, for
the past eight years we have de-
voted most of our time, energy and
resources to this fragile little boy.
Those who have never had the
experience of raising a child with a
serious disability cannot begin to
understand the sense of responsi-
bility. Jess requires constant atten-
tion and assistance Even now, a
night's sleep is often interrupted to
soothe a distraught youngster
Emotionally and financially, the
situation has been draining.
For us. having periods of respite
has proven crucial. We simply must
have a few hours to ourselves once
in aw hile to rest and rejuvenate. On
occasion, we need to be able to
completely leave our home in
Smithville for overnight trips. For
years, we relied on faithful friends
w ho arc willing to step in for a few
hours or a day at a time
Our situation improved dramati-
cally in 1988 w hen we discovered a
wonderful proram run by the Texas
Department of Mental Health and
Mental Retardation The program
is called In-Home and Family Sup-
port and it provides a small monthly
stipend for families who have a
member with a disability The sti-
pend can be used for any number of
sen ices, from respite to transporta-
tion to rehabilitation therapies of
all types. Familicsoflow and middle
incomes arc eligible to draw up to
$300 a month, or up to $3,600 a
years, depending upon individual
needs. Funding is also available for
a one-time allotment of upto $3,600
for physical modifications to a resi-
dence or the purchase or lease of
special equpment
The beauty of the program is
