Diana Morton
Diana Morton lives in Parsons. "Stuck" is how she described her situation in regards to being a able to travel outside of town. Finding accessible and affordable transportation in rural America is a difficult task.
Diana experienced a stroke and became a SKIL customer in 2004. She used to work in the medical field with people who had similar situations to hers. Now she would like for the people who are responsible for the waiting list for home and community based services to experience the same things she is experiencing. "I would like for someone else to walk in my shoes for a while."
She uses a mobility scooter for transportation and this limits the types of vehicles she can use for public and private transportation. Living on a fixed income makes it seem impossible to own a personal van.
The thought of losing more funding when you are in this type of situation can cause a great deal of stress. Video Podcast at the read more icon...........
