It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that my beloved husband, love of my life, and best friend passed away in his home with our family on March 9th. I am grateful for the good life he gave me; we spent almost 51 years and 8 months together. Ours was a true love story, and I am thankful for the many memories and love he has left me. Life will not be the same without him, but I shall try my hardest to adapt and continue, together with the love, support, and friendship from my family and friends.
Love you, yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever.
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

The remittances sent by women migrant workers improve the livelihood and health of their families and strengthen economies. In 2015, international migrants sent $432.6 billion in remittances to developing countries — nearly three times the amount of development aid (ODA), which totaled at $131.6 billion.

Rase and Irma are 22 and 21 years old migrant workers from Medan, Indonesia, living and working in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, for a hi-tech electronics factory nearby Wednesday 29, November, 2017. They have both been in Malaysia for three years, met here, and share housing together. They are both earning about 1600RM or $392.00 monthly, enabling them to send money home to their families, as well as earning and saving for themselves. While they feel they are empowered and doing something good for themselves, they are also far from home, and understand the sacrifices made for this way of living. They both want to stay in Malaysia for as long as possible.

Delila, 48, a widow and migrant worker from Medan, Indonesia. She has lived and worked in Kuala Lumpur for 10 years now, half of that time she has been undocumented due to the difficulty in obtaining work for older women. She has managed to stay, legally, supporting nine children back home, five of her own and four of her deceased sisters. It has been very tough, though now she has her eldest son staying with her, and also working to save money for university. They live in a small room behind a car repair shop, not far from the famed Petronas Towers. Despite her situation, she is managing to earn anywhere between 1000 and 1600RM per month, cleaning offices and sometimes homes as well. Her attitude this this, if she were to return now, due to the mentality of people back home she would not be able to find a job, but in KL she is working regularly, and earning something. She wants to go home, and will probably stay in KL till 2020, at which time, she hopes her children will be able now help support her.

Every day Ilídio joins his friend João on the way to school. Ilídio is 11, loves going to school and dreams of driving a car one day. It is not so long ago that the boy who now speaks two languages, could not speak at all and had only limited mobility.
Not all children with disabilities have the same opportunities as Ilídio and it is not long since Ilídio had to stay at home. When Eunice and Marta from Handicap International first met him, he had little independence. His mum, Isabel, works hard to support her son, but it has often been a struggle; when Ilídio was a baby she could not afford the bus fare to take him to the rehabilitation centre.
The visits from Eunice and Marta made Isabel realise that she was not alone and when they arranged home physiotherapy sessions for Ilídio he soon made rapid progress. The next step was to enrol him in school to ensure he could realise his potential. Now, not only is Ilídio making great strides in his school work, but he is becoming more mobile and gaining greater independence. He has a walker, which he uses to get around and a wheelchair, which he uses for longer distances. He will be getting a new wheelchair this year, which will be adapted to his size and will have thick wheels to negotiate the sandy terrain near the school. It is clear Ilídio will go far.

Family Support is a state funded program to provide individualized supports to families who are caring for a family member with developmental disabilities/delays, including connecting them with resources and providing limited financial help. Because the State has limited funding, priority is given to families who meet the “most in need” criteria. Your Intake Coordinator may be able to suggest alternative community resources, and you may be contacted once a year to review your resource needs and exchange current contact information.
Pathways Family Support Coordinators provide ongoing supportive personal contact with families and facilitate connections with other families and other community agencies and resources. In partnership with families, Coordinators assist with developing the Family Support Plan by assessing and prioritizing the childs’ and families’ unmet needs in areas such as assistive technology and home or vehicle modification, respite care, and professional, medical or dental services. Coordinators also assist the family with planning during times of transition to other school programs and to prepare for additional services individuals may be eligible for in the future. Follow the links below to learn more about some of the programs Family Supports offers.

This is Nikki. Nikki was having a bad day.
I was out walking around Lutheran Hospital (while the wife was in the ER,) and saw this woman sitting on the sidewalk crying. I sat down with her and started talking with her. Soon her life story spilled out; she has no job, lives in her mother's basement, has an autistic daughter, and her husband just left her. Oh, her dog died and she just put her cat to sleep, too.
As I was walking towards her, I noticed that her tears were reflecting the sunlight the same as her diamond earrings. She is a tough girl. As tough as diamonds. Please, make a comment!!!

Family Support Center is a program of Rural Resources serving victims of crime in Stevens County, WA and is located at 956 S. Main, Colville, WA 99114. 24 hour help line: 509-684-6139.
Family Support Center's mission is to "create an abuse-free environment in Stevens County."

In 1963, Colorado statute authorized CCBs (Community Centered Boards) to be responsible for community services for children with delays in their development and developmental disabilities and adults with developmental disabilities. Currently there are 20 Community Centered Boards who serve approximately 11,000 individuals and families across the state.
Developmental Pathways is a Colorado non-profit agency, and was established in 1964 as a community-based alternative to institutional care. Since that time, Pathways has developed a broad array of services based on the principle that full inclusion and participation in community life is attainable for every individual with a developmental disability. Developmental Pathways serves citizens of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, and the portion of Adams County within the City of Aurora city limits.
As a CCB, Developmental Pathways determines eligibility and provides programs for persons with developmental disabilities in our service area. Anyone may refer and our main number is 303-858-2260 to speak to an intake coordinator.
Our programs serve an age-range from birth to senior citizen. The programs are funded by a number of state and federal sources.
According to Colorado law, persons with a developmental disability are those who have a “disability that is manifested before the person reaches twenty-two years of age, which constitutes a substantial disability to the affected individual, and is attributable to mental retardation or related conditions which include cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism, or other neurological conditions when such conditions result in impairment of general intellectual functioning or adaptive behavior similar to that of a person with mental retardation” (CRS 27-10.5-102). For children under five years of age, eligibility is based on determination of either a developmental delay or factors putting the child at risk of having a developmental disability.
