You Are Invited…

Massachusetts Families Organizing for Change has launched a campaign to inform legislators about family support. You Are Invited… will work to have every legislator invited by a family to witness their life and understand a human being in a different way. Family Support should be directed by the needs of the family. Our legislators need to hear personal stories and see for themselves what our life is like and how we meet the challenges that each day brings. With every day challenges are the joys and gifts our children give to us. It is the very reason why we, as families, must continue to advocate not only for continuation of Family Support, but also increased funding.

We believe that this campaign will help legislators have a true understanding of the meaning of, and the need for, family support.

Please join MFOFC to reach every legislator to help them understand what family support really means to individuals with disabilities and their families. Invite your legislator into your home, to a family event, to a meeting that involves your child or in any other way allowing this legislator to meet and spend time with your family. All families are different and have different needs. We are confident that the experience our legislators have spending real time with our families will certainly make an impact on how they look at Family Support, bringing that memory to Beacon Hill.
