  • Paid Maternity Leave
    All mothers and infants need to be together to bond and to breastfeed. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a full year of breastfeeding for both baby's and mother's health. This doesn't happen when moms have to return to work after six weeks (if they have paid sick leave). Most families can't afford to take unpaid family leave.

  • Expediting Social Security Disability Income for people affected by Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
    Individuals such as myself can spend several months to several years going through the Social Security system in order to get benefits. This affects financial stability of those affected and unable to work because of the condition. While Social Security denies and delays claims, homes are lost, and people are forced to become dependent on welfare and other sources even though they have paid in to the system all their lives.
