Disability Advocate Carrie Kellenberger of My Several Worlds - Part 1
My Several Worlds 的慢性疾病及殘疾倡導者 Carrie Kellenberger - Part 1
人客來坐 My Taiwan Story
We’ve invited Carrie Kellenberger from My Several Worlds in a 3-part series to chat to us about her journey of learning to live with her chronic illnesses here in Taiwan. In this three-part series, you will learn about how Carrie created My Several Worlds with a mission to connect, educate, and inspire chronically ill patients around the world, while also providing much-needed resources in English to patients in Asia. This amazing lady has managed to create a patient-centered hub in Asia and find out what motivates her to do all that she does for My Several Worlds!
In addition, I’ve also learned about this petition Carrie has been heavily involved in with Crossroads on Taiwan's #DisabilityInclusion petition to provide disability certification (身心障礙證明 or 殘障手冊) to foreign residents with physical or mental disabilities caused by aging, disease, an accident, or genetic factors. You can find out more about this petition by going on this bilingual platform. They need 5000 signatures by 6/14!
這三個禮拜,*是的! 我們非常需要三集的內容來了解這個話題的重要性,我將和我們的非常特別的VIP來賓Carrie Kellenberger,一個住在台灣外國朋友的親身角度去了解慢性疾病的診斷過程以及種種克服台灣這個社會/健保制度。我非常推薦你仔細聽這幾集的內容。不只是可以從Carrie在他的 My Several Worlds 平臺上分享她自己一路走過來的親身經驗 讓你更了解慢性疾病患者的難處,而且因你會發現,其實台灣雖然擁有全民健保的保障和好客的濃濃人情味,但我們每一個人和我們台灣這個國家還是有很多可以進步的空間的。
另外,也是因爲在采訪Carrie的過程中,她提到了最近Crossroads台灣全球連結發展協會在公共政策網路平臺上提倡的一個提議,是爲每一個在台灣貢獻青春且與國人一樣盡繳稅的義務的久居外籍人士們,爭取可以卻在年老或遇到疾病成為身心障礙者時可以獲得平等的身心障礙證明和相關的協助與服務。想瞭解更多更多關於這個提案的朋友們可以在公共政策網路平臺看看附有中英對應解説的内容。你若想幫忙的話也可以上建立帳號並附議本提案哦。
