Thank you for all the good work you do!
Ohio, where I live, is excellent for disabled people. I'm totally blind, and I've gotten excellent services here, compared to my home state of Massachusetts.
South Carolina is "supposed"to be one of the top states to live in for disabled people. Living here in Sc I don't see it. My husband and I have to die in order for my son to be placed somewhere. He is now 18 and severely disabled. I'm not wanting him placed any time to soon but as he nears his mid twenties, thirtys , we would like to have him adjusted to a place before we die. We are in our 50's now and time is ticking. This makes me want to move to New Jersey as he will be done school at 21. I guess the waiting list is long but not as long as the one here in Sc.
new jersey is very very good for disabled people im disabled my self i thank god i live in new jersey and not many ohter states in usa
I moving to Assisted Living Home soon. I meet them yesterday. They are nice.
A unique human being.xx
I really can't "say poor me, I just have a mild learning disability. Never feel sorry for any one with a deal, rather just embrace them, love them, care for them. Just been there for them.
Maryland has a lot more resources you should move here. I also have a disabled son he lives with 4 other individuals they also go to a day center during the week days and even outings on the week day and weekends and some of the housing is beautiful.
Her room is huge
Amen and amazing 🥲 😊
I hope they provide them with EBT services. It’s good for them
Very special lady. Xx
new jersey is very very good for disabled people compared to other states in usa im disabled and im glad i live in new jersey other states are very very bad for disabled people
NEW JERSEY SETS THE EXAMPLE FOR WHAT SERVICES SHOULD BE LIKE
youre right about that, kentucky fucking sucks cause it's like everyone in this state wants anyone who isnt even severely badly disabled, to be put in a institution and be controlled all the time, when they just wants a life like everyone else and to enjoy their own life.
This a great video:).
I'm not understanding why she was placed in a residential setting as a child. Couldn't she have lived in her own home?
Put in residential care home and a child that is barbric children belong in famlies
Its horrible horrible barbric and disable children are placed in residential care Homes
Unfortunately, that was a common thing that Dr's told parents to do with their disabled children up until the early 70s when more community resources became available for children with disabilities and laws were starting to be enacted for children with disabilities to receive a free and appropriate education in public schools in the USA. I have cerebral palsy and when I was a child, my parents were told to put me in an institution and forget about me, I'm so glad that they didn't listen because being able to live at home with my family meant that I was able to go to a regular school and graduate high school with a regular diploma and go on to college and receive a associate degree in business , I will further my education at some point in time, have a job and live on my own, have friends and relationships and have a social life. If I lived in a institution, none of that would've happened.
Wow 😮😊❤

Your situation is very different. This person does not have self care skills or verbal communication. She needs a high level of daily care.
Youre lucky services in ny are cr!
I used to live in a group home
I feel so depressed.
I bet she's actually intelligent and these people think she's dumb because of what they see that's a lesson to never judge someone
Star Jackson what u see?
Who is judging who?
Star Jackson there are many people who view the severely intellectual disability population as in capable of understanding when this is actually further from the truth the problem has always been giving the tools that are out there for communication and then some people either have a lack of early intervention services were people just give up to therefore they don’t have the skills necessary
When you live at? Amen 🙏
When can i get there
I live with my sisters
Just found out she passed away in May 2023
God is always good i have a mental retardation but mine is very mild and i have a slow learning. And i am cognitively delays and still living with my mom i couldn't go places except the library and go walking every once in the while but god always make a way for me because i get bully on by others people too
Can be here
Are the only Christian group homes like this available in Maryland?
Do you have group homes in PA
I moved in my house
:(
It’s so sad to see this. What’s the point of a person essentially being a year old or 2 years old their whole entire life? They can’t do anything, they are stuck all their life, they hardly know what’s going on, and they require CONSTANT care. I just don’t see the point in this. Those people can’t be enjoying life that much.
And that may be that’s why you can only make them as happy as possible, it’s very hard for parents to take care of a child when they get older so places like this are a godsend.
Even if they can’t do anything they may be completely aware of themselves.
This, ma'am, is very ableist of you to say. This comment is essentially saying this lady's life doesn't have value. I'm here to tell you, ma'am, that you're wrong. I'm totally blind, and I, and this lovely lady, and everyone who is disabled, all have valuable lives. I would strongly encourage you to really think about how you say things before you say them.
@@chantelcuddemi7646 that’s very true I’m mobile disabled myself, not to the extent of the woman in the video but I like to think my life has meaning.
@@sushifox2058 Your life definitely has meaning, don't you let anyone tell you differently!
@@chantelcuddemi7646 thank you that made my day
Hey
Women!
I think she’s non- verbal
Hi👋💷👋👋👋😘👍👌
The food looks disgusting.
She has no teeth she can't have solid food.
It all has to be pureed.
@@annegonzalez6683 How do ya know that?

@@annegonzalez6683 They just editided it to look like that.
It belongs in the streets with the other homeless people.
Heh.
🍀♿️🇵🇱💪
grils beutfull
Félix vlogs cute
God did nothing for this
This video is gross. Ewww!
You’re gross. Ewww!
welcome to the harsh realities of life. Instead of judging, u should be grateful to God that u and ur loved ones are not in that position and pray for ppl who are
@@samanthacole4395 What, why? she is eating disgusting food, sucking her thumb without washing her hands, wtw?
@@MrPillowStudios she can’t help it! Stop being rude!
@@samanthacole4395 She can control when she licks herself. She can decide that.
Maryland has a lot more resources you should move here. I also have a disabled son he lives with 4 other individuals they also go to a day center during the week days and even outings on the week day and weekends and some of the housing is beautiful.
way to waste tax dollars
Almost every organization have day programs for the individuals. Some of the individuals do choose employment over day programs
@@guccigucci5002 you are a fucking asshole. The only waste of space, air and taxpayer money is you. Until you have been in that situation or know of someone who is or was in that situation I would shut the fuck up if I were you. Keep your filthy ass comments to yourself.

Have you thought about putting your son in with a roommate companion? They have to go through the same screening as group home staff. Some individuals prefer that over group homes, I don't know if that is what you are interested in?
