Take Action

1. Political Action

Pam is working tirelessly with other close friends to contact the appropriate people to try and get Mandy on waiting lists for the home and community-based waiver (available through Developmental Services) that will allow more funding to go toward her medical needs. She is also working to have the law changed so funding is based on a "needs" basis, not an "age" basis. Soon we will have contact information for congressmen and other people you can write to on Mandy's behalf.  Stay tuned.

(Read a letter from Sue Hilinski to Governor Bush.)

2. Help meet immediate needs

Even if Mandy is placed on waiting lists for Waivers - it will be many months before she would receive the extra funding, if at all. Even if there is success in changing the law, that can take years.

If you wish to contribute financial support, send your tax-deductible donations to:

Northland, A Church Distributed
530 Dog Track Road
Longwood, Florida 32750

Make your check out to Northland. Be sure to designate it for Mandy Bradshaw ON A SEPARATE PIECE OF PAPER - NOT ON THE CHECK.

Please contact us if you are a nurse, physical therapist, speech therapist or other clinician and wish to contribute your professional services. Any of the 100+ lay volunteers who have been working with Mandy will tell you what a blessing and a joy it is to spend time with her.
