As a disabled person who relies on multiple medications and supplies that are manufactured or sourced in China… the suspension of USPS packages from China and Hong Kong is deeply disturbing. Even a temporary stoppage could be catastrophic for us.

disabled people are canaries in the coal mine. Anything that will impact non disabled people will often hit us harder and faster.

Include us in resistance & emergency preparedness.

If you have means, consider helping a disabled person stock up on necessary supplies. We often lack the funds to be able to “prep” and yet can’t withstand a shortage the way a healthy person can.

Never forget that good health gives you a degree of resilience … and that resilience is a gift. Don’t waste it. Prepare. Plan. Help others.
