New Red Rifton Walker

I have a new red Rifton walker in March with a seat and a chest support. Prem has begun walking well enough that he has been able to transition to a rollator without a seat. We would be happy to donate it to a family who could use it - I think it retails at $3000, insurance got a discount and paid $1800 and we paid $300. It is in great shape since he mostly used it around the house and did that only for a short time.

Please let me know what you think. Feel free to call or email.

Thanks,
Rekha

Wheel Chair Van for sale.

I am trying to find a home for my parents wheel chair van and would like to give it away
to someone who can use it rather than salvage it. It does have high miles but runs good and decent shape (needs a good cleaning). May need a new battery. I don't think the radio works (not factory installed). Seems like to me it may need shocks or whatever it is but then maybe not.

Specs:
1993 Dodge Caravan
Electric hydrolic wheel chair ramp
Removable front seats.
203,000 miles

I am trying to sell my parents house (they both passed away this year) so it would be great to get it off the property by end of September at the latest. If you can't find a home for it would
you send me the web sites you mentioned on the phone?

Thank you so much!

Subject: Money for DD waiver and behavioral health!

This message is from Ellen Pinnes and The Disability Coalition.

There's good news from the recent special session of the New Mexico Legislature - S.B. 22 includes $10 million to serve more people on the Developmental Disabilities waiver and $2.5 million for behavioral health services for children. These appropriations are in addition to $20 million to serve more children who are eligible for Medicaid but not yet enrolled.

Governor Richardson had asked for $58 million for kids' coverage. The $20 million appropriated by the Legislature to enroll eligible kids will make a start on that. The governor did NOT request money for either the DD waiver or behavioral health, despite the extremely long waiting list for waiver services and the pressing need for more behavioral health services in our state. We're grateful to the Legislature for recognizing these needs and
including these appropriations in the measure they passed.

We hope that Governor Richardson will sign S.B. 22 with all the appropriations intact, but there's a chance that he might line-item veto the DD waiver and behavioral health appropriations because he did not request these items. I encourage you to contact the governor's office and urge him to sign S.B. 22 WITH the DD waiver and behavioral health appropriations.

To send an e-mail to the governor, go to the website at www.governor.state.nm.us. Click on "Contact the governor" on the left side of the page, then on "E-mail the governor". Select "Have an opinion" and click on "Submit" and a form will come up for you to fill out. When you've finished it, click "Submit".

The phone number for the governor's office is 505-476-2200. Unfortunately, Governor Richardson discontinued the toll-free number that used to go to the governor's office. That number, 800-432-4406, now goes to the office of Lieutenant Governor Diane Denish. They will usually put calls through to the governor's office so you don't have to pay for a long-distance call if you're outside Santa Fe.

Thanks for making the voice of the disability community heard!

Doctoral Students

I just received this e-mail from a doctoral students in Memphis, Tennessee.
As many of you know I like to helping doctoral students achieve their goals.
Also, this doctoral student sounds like he is doing a research project that
