The New Windsor Dial-a-Bus program must be restored. With its termination, New Windsor Seniors and Disabled New Windsor Residents of every age have been deprived of their independence and, as a consequence, have become socially isolated. They have been forced to become dependent on neighbors, friends and family for basic needs. As a result, they perceive themselves as burdens on their loved ones. This is demeaning to them and wrong for our Town.
Why is this important?
We, including Strat Vlachos, Diane Turner and Bonnie Brennan, are New Windsor Residents who are deeply concerned by the cancellation of the New Windsor, New York, Dial-A-Bus program. Our most vulnerable citizens, Seniors and the Disabled, lost their independence, access to social outlets and the freedom essential to human dignity. They are no longer able to attend to basic needs like bringing in groceries and visiting doctors without the intervention of neighbors, friends and family. As a result, they are made to feel as if they are burdens to their loved ones. This is demeaning to them and wrong for our Town. Please join us in our effort to bring Dial-A-Bus back by signing this Petition and sending it on to others, who, like you, care about our Town's most vulnerable residents. Thank you.
