Omaha Gives! Wendys Story We are activists! The MS Society creates opportunities for people living with MS to advocate for government policies that affect them and their families. Every February, individuals living with MS, caregivers, and MS Society staff/board members converge at the state capital to learn more about legislative bills in session impacting people living with MS. Wendy Lewis, a mother of three teenage children and living with MS, participates in that day because she sees the opportunity to share her story and express the need for our decision makers to consider their support. This year, the LB 877 Wellness in Nebraska was our focus Legislative Bill. Wendy works part time as a cashier in a restaurant earning approximately $12,800 per year. There are medications for symptoms like fatigue and nausea that Wendy skips because she cannot afford to purchase these prescriptions. The bill would be instrumental in helping those living with MS ensure their medical needs are met and they don’t fall in the gap. Please consider your support TODAY with a gift that will help us continue to mobilize others to do something about MS now.
