视频描述:

大家好，我是Adria Nassim。我住在印第安纳州的布卢明顿。我在社区接受直接支持。我出生时就被诊断出患有脑瘫，儿童期和青春期中期还患有严重的学习障碍和自闭症谱系障碍。我需要帮助我独立生活的服务。举个例子:我昨天晚上和我的一个朋友瑞秋通电话，她实际上是印第安纳大学布卢明顿分校的一名大学生。雷竞技官方网站下载她说:“阿德里亚，你今晚吃了什么?”我说:“瑞秋，我吃了一些用微波炉蒸的西兰花和一份冷冻餐。”我告诉她我现在吃这样的东西，因为实际上没有人支持我，当我一个人的时候，我通常吃微波炉做的东西，因为对我来说，在没有监督的情况下独立使用烤箱或炉子是一个安全隐患。”所以需要有人和我一起做饭，在炉子上做食物，并有直接的监督。 And life skills and independent living skills—things like cooking dinner, folding laundry, paying bills—require assistance for me to be able to live independently. And I guarantee you my parents don't want me living in their basement. As much as I love them, they have done their darnedest to see that I have the skills needed to live away from them and live a productive and meaningful life. And that is why I need direct support from college students like Rachael and other girls that I have in my life to support me. And that's why it's so vital that we make sure that these providers are paid adequately and are able to get to their clients during this crisis. So thank you so much for paying attention and giving me your time. I really appreciate it. And let's make sure that these clients have the services they need. Thank you so much.
