Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Youj kjnow, I just want to whine and say how envious I am of the resources a lot of you have. In Oregon, we do not have a waiver program, so if you have a job there's no additional help. No wrap around services, no help with respite, natta nothing nyet. And they wonder why folks divorce so that the person with custody can be poor and go on welfare around here. j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
