Episode 221 - “I Am Forced To Live in An Institution” - April, Andrew & Vicky

from Disability After Dark

Episode Notes In Episode 221, I sit down with three people in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada who share with us the dismal disability housing options in Halifax forcing disabled people to live in seniors homes or institutions.  April tells us about how she was also put in an institution after having a routine procedure in hospital, and how she feels less than human.  Vicky talks about her experiences living in an institution since she was 21, and Andrew highlights his struggles with inaccessible housing and how it impacts him every single day.   Each story from April, Andrew and Vicky highlights how they feel trapped within a system that does not care about them.  I wanted to shine a huge light on this story today!   You can follow Andrew Jantzen: https://www.facebook.com/HomecareCastaway  You can follow April Hubbard here: https://www.instagram.com/strongeronwheels/  You can follow Vicky LeVack here: https://www.facebook.com/vicky.levack  You can also write the Halifax Government here: https://premier.novascotia.ca/ ** Also, support Disability After Dark by pledging to the patreon. www.patreon.com/disabilityafterdark** You can get 50% off almost any item in store at www.adameve.com and 10 FREE GIFTS by using DARKPOD at check out!
