A Thank You Note
On February 14th, a Consumer at the Corona building had a frightening experience.
He began to choke on a piece of apple, but fortunately received prompt medical attention from
Briana Cabanas. She knew the correct procedure to dislodge the object stuck in his throat.
Briana's quick thinking and her courageous attitude made all the difference in a critical situation,
saving someone from harm.
Giving credit where it's due! She did an exceptional job in this situation and for that, we want to say
THANK YOU Brianna!
Governor Gavin Newsom has proposed to delay a $1 billion investment in critical supports and services for
Californians with developmental disabilities. Our community has endured underfunding for decades. It
weakened the direct support workforce, making it harder for people with disabilities and their families to
access reliable services. State leaders know how urgent it is to stabilize the disability services system. That’s
why they planned a funding increase this year. The impact of delaying this desperately needed funding will
be nothing short of a cut to services.
Your heroic advocacy efforts in 2022 resulted in overwhelming bi-partisan support from our Senators and
Assembly members to ensure services through regional centers are more adequately funded by July 1, 2024.
we need ALL OF YOU – individuals with developmental disabilities, their families, support staff, service
providers, regional centers and advocates – to TAKE ACTION!
