New Release: Survey on Poverty and Disability
89 % of Canadians overwhelmingly support fast action on the Canada Disability Benefit.
Living with Limited Income
Living with Kabuki Syndrome has limited my ability to find employment, pursue higher-level education, and it leaves me dependent on my family to help me with my day-to-day living. I appreciate the PWD benefits I receive every month, as I depend on these funds to get by on a daily basis. However, the funds I get do not cover my monthly expenses and the preventative therapies I need to manage my health.
