Lack of services makes Rose Finlay’s liveable disability life-threatening.
Rose Finlay has been a quadriplegic since a swimming accident at 17 yrs broke her neck. She has been a powerhouse working for change as a published author, keynote speaker, model, disability advocate, accessibility consultant, certified holistic health coach and reiki master. Up until recently, she has been able to cobble together the services she needs to maintain her daily needs. However, that has changed, and she is now in a life-threatening situation that could easily be solved with support services attending her home twice a day. But the waiting list for these support services is 6-8 months long. In the meantime, she faces dying – a wretched death in front of her three children OR exercising MAID (an option where the waiting time is only 91 days). It is as she says a heinous choice made more outrageous by the simplicity of what fixes it.
