Terrible situation, but a very nice job with this!
Thank you.

Being able to use a toilet without assistance is a form or privilege that is generally unrecognized - even by some people in the Disability Community.

Having such privilege means that an individual is free to perform their natural bodily functions without needing to ask or wait for assistance, and such people do not deal with governmental or agency intrusion in this most basic aspect of their daily lives.  Those who do not have such privilege may find their lives upended by structurally ableist systems and denied their most basic rights, including the right to live in freedom.

Independence in toileting has become an ableist litmus test to determine if elderly and Disabled people should be allowed to live in freedom. That must end.

Congress must pass the Latonya Reeves Freedom Act and FREE OUR PEOPLE!
