#SaveCDPA: Meet Doris & Sarah
Meet Doris & Sarah Behan. Sarah has CHARGE syndrome, a complex genetic syndrome. She is in her mid-thirties, but will require assistance all her life.
Governor Andrew Cuomo is planning to cut $75 million from the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance (CDPA) program and take away consumer choice.
If his budget proposal is not stopped, Doris & Sarah - and 70,000 other New Yorkers with disabilities and chronic health conditions - will face an uncertain future.
Tell the Governor: Your cuts to CDPA do NOT represent New York values!
