^^^^^^WARM GREETINGS FROM^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Ivan Suzman 48/12/9.5 [log in to unmask] Portland, Maine Land of lighthouses 32 deg. F ******************************************************************** Friends, The APDA has replied -- it has no caregiver funds. Am searching other avenues. Even MacDonald's pays the same wage, ($6.25) PLUS HEALTH INSURANCE, to serve hamburgers...... I have been adding on what little pocket cash I can manage- to pay folks here up to $8.00-- but lost another to resignation today. Am down to just one 4-hour block visit Saturday morning, nothing else between now and Monday. Very tiring process- endless phone calls, hoping for caregiver funding to supplement Maine State pay rate of $6.25. If I weren't so tired, I'd start a campaign for caregiver funding. Ivan
