I live in Mississippi and take care of my mom with Alzheimers. She lives with me and my dad pays me to take care of her. The problem is that he is getting low on funds and it is difficult for him to make it month to month while paying for her care. He has land he is trying to sell but his cash flow is making him have to stretch every month. Does anyone know if there is any kind of caregiver assisstace allowance in the state of Mississippi? I have searched on the internet and I find almost every state but Mississippi. Imagine that! What a great governor we have, so concerned with his elderly population!! Please help!
We might point out that ultimately we save the government money, and a little remuneration coming our way would raise our spirits and help us to renew our efforts.
I know who my reps in the house and senate are. If you don't, look here: http://www.congress.org/congressorg/directory/congdir.tt and I think it also helps to follow up your letter with a phone call.
Keep this info............you may need it again when a crucial vote comes up.
