We spent more time on the positives than on the negatives. I learned how people can be mobilized for a common cause. By working together, people can make a difference. And many are volunteers. I am glad to see the interest that parents are showing in this particular process and how parents are beginning to speak out.
Parents getting involved is the most important thing.
The people felt society was burying them. Two women, parents at Glenwood who had been involved with the FRC, spoke in front of the state legislature about health care for children. They told how they were raised without health care and the problems it had caused them. If they had not believed they would be heard and trusted, they would not have been there. It takes a lot of courage.
