Thank you county

for your support

To the Editor:

There are a number of high-profile issues commanding the attention of Indiana's General Assembly. Right now, decisions are being made about how much to invest in programs and services for people with disabilities -- decisions that affect about 90,000 Hoosiers with disabilities and, more specifically, Hoosiers with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

In our current economy, many government programs have been cut or eliminated. These cuts have contributed to what many believe is a growing state of quiet crisis for individuals with disabilities who rely on those vital services and the providers who support them.

Right now, the decisions made by Indiana's General Assembly have the power to worsen this crisis or stabilize it by preserving the current available resource and making a commitment to long-term solutions.

INARF, a membership organization of Indiana community providers, has taken the lead in raising awareness of these issues. Right now, the INquietCrisis.org Campaign is educating all Hoosiers about the value that people with developmental disabilities and the providers that support them

bring to local communities.

Four Rivers Resource Services is proud to support the efforts of this campaign. We believe that an investment in the services that support the inclusion of individuals with disabilities in our community makes a better Indiana for all Hoosiers.

We are so grateful for the long-term support the Greene County communities has provided Four Rivers Resource Services and the individuals we serve. Right now, we ask that you continue your support by joining us in making INquietCrisis.org heard.
