#HandsOff is a series on The Arc Blog. Each month, we feature a story from individuals and families across The Arc’s network about how some of today’s key policy issues impact their day to day lives.
Meet Samera! Samera is 27 years old, a poet, and likes to read books, go to concerts, and spend time with her friends and family. She lives in a home in her community, supported by The Arc of Baltimore.
This month America celebrates its independence, but for Samera and many people with disabilities across the country, programs like Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) mean independence.
Samera says, “SSI and Medicaid help me to live in the community with independence. SSI helps to pay for my transportation to run daily errands, go to church, and cover the costs of medications and personal items that Medicaid doesn’t cover. Medicaid covers my wheelchair, and because it covers my wheelchair, I’m able to get around and go out, meet new friends, and do all of the things that everyone enjoys doing.”

I’m the owner of JustCBD brand (justcbdstore.com) and I’m presently aiming to grow my wholesale side of company. I really hope that someone at targetdomain give me some advice ! I thought that the most effective way to accomplish this would be to talk to vape stores and cbd stores. I was really hoping if someone could suggest a dependable web site where I can purchase CBD Shops B2B Database I am currently reviewing creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. Not sure which one would be the most ideal selection and would appreciate any guidance on this. Or would it be simpler for me to scrape my own leads? Ideas?
Greetings! Very helpful advice in this particular post! It is the little changes that make the most important changes. Thanks for sharing!
When I initially commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I recieve 4 emails with the exact same comment. Perhaps there is a means you are able to remove me from that service? Kudos!
Good post. I certainly love this website. Keep it up!
I truly love your site.. Pleasant colors & theme. Did you build this amazing site yourself? Please reply back as I’m planning to create my own personal site and want to know where you got this from or what the theme is called. Many thanks!
An intriguing discussion is worth comment. There’s no doubt that that you need to write more on this issue, it may not be a taboo matter but typically people do not talk about these issues. To the next! Many thanks!!
I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I came across this in my hunt for something relating to this.
It’s nearly impossible to find well-informed people about this topic, but you seem like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks
