The resolution aims to advocate for continued funding and recognition for services that help disabled children integrate into society more effectively, fostering a sense of community and inclusion.

Summary

Senate Resolution No. 628 recognizes Be An Angel for its dedicated work in supporting disabled children. Established in 1986, the organization has played a vital role in enhancing the lives of children with multiple disabilities or profound deafness. Its various initiatives, which include providing necessary equipment such as hearing aids and van conversion kits, delivering at-home respite care, and facilitating inclusive programs, have made a significant impact in the community.

Contention

While the resolution celebrates the accomplishments of Be An Angel, it raises underlying concerns about the adequacy of state resources allocated for supporting disabled children. Critics may argue that although recognition is essential, there needs to be a broader commitment to ensuring that organizations like Be An Angel receive consistent funding and support to sustain their programs in the long term. The resolution serves not only as commendation but as a reminder of the ongoing needs faced by disabled children and their families.
