  1. BOOST FAR AND WIDE PLEASE!

    After my most recent hospital trips, lovely people here on fedi have been asking me what I'll need to get through the next couple of weeks given I'm disabled and under the poverty line, and my last surgery didn't go to plan😔(you can read more on my timeline). I need to recover from that physically, while also now needing to gain strength and wait for yet another surgery at the end of September due to the last one not working😅 Obviously, the setback has thrown things out of whack as far as the food and adult diapers that I currently can't do without, so given people have asked, I have taken stock of what I'll need to get through until next surgery day:

    *more ready meals as I don't have the ability to cook right now but need nutritious things that are pre-prepared

    *Two more packs of adult diapers to get me through until the next surgery date.

    The total cost is $237.15. That will mean I'm fed, and able to rest and recover from my last hospital stay and surgery(where they added another stent), and give myself the best possible chance of being alright to go into the next surgery and have that be a success(and recovery be smooth).

    If you could help me reach my goal of $237.15 so I can get those essential diapers and the food I need, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance♥️EDIT: ONLY $185 TO GO NOW TO MEET GOAL!

  6. North Carolina Joins Governors Defending Disability Community Services

    North Carolina is among 18 states whose governors are urging the U.S. Department of Justice to protect community-based services for people with disabilities, according to a September 15, 2026, report from Disability Scoop.

    The governors’ letter challenges a Justice Department memo questioning longstanding interpretations of Olmstead v. L.C., the landmark Supreme Court decision supporting access to community-based services rather than unnecessary institutionalization.


    What Are Governors Calling For?

    The governors oppose federal actions that could weaken community integration protections. Their letter emphasizes the importance of allowing people with disabilities to make meaningful choices about where they live, work and receive services.

    Disability advocates quoted in the report stress that the Justice Department memo has not changed the law itself.


    Why It Matters for Raleigh

    For Raleigh residents with disabilities, families and caregivers, North Carolina’s participation connects this national debate to concerns about independent living and community participation.

    The issue centers on protections that help people remain connected to their homes, schools, workplaces and neighborhoods.

    Read Michelle Diament’s full report at Disability Scoop⁠ for details about the governors’ letter and advocates’ concerns.
