Kids Can't Wait

THE SYSTEM IS FAILING OUR CHILDREN.

We are being forced to choose between providing for our families and getting our children the care they desperately need.

Time Left to Wait

Our children need care NOW, not later

THIS IS PERSONAL

"I created the Kids Can't Wait Coalition because I am a parent who lives the daily, agonizing truth of the system's failure.

It is nearly impossible to live a happy, secure life while raising a multi-disabled child when our government uses 22-year-old rules to decide who is worthy of support. For too long, the archaic SSI Parental Income Deeming Rules have forced families like mine into an unbearable choice: either keep your income low enough to qualify for essential disability services, or watch your child be denied the care they desperately need."

OUR MOVEMENT

Kids Can't Wait is more than just a name; it's a promise. It is a movement born out of desperation and fueled by the knowledge that better solutions exist right now, globally.

WE ARE FIGHTING TO END THIS INJUSTICE
