Internet for disability claimants!

[looneylane]

Internet for good has been approved for the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta! Now to see if other service providers will get on board to serve the other provinces and territories! Thanks my friends for encouraging me!

Wahoooooooo!!!  Nicely done, brother.  I thought it should have gotten some news coverage but it doesn't look like the big three picked it up.  Let me know if you find any.

They started giving notices to people on disability with instructions on how to get the discounted internet deal!!!!   It is real! it is real! They still haven't done the major news piece yet but I did hear they were trying to fix issues with Alberta's application process as they don't have the same setup to make sure the right people get their names in...

I received a thank you for having the BC association of Social workers be a part of this much needed project it was a real pat on the back recognizing my work and the official news release has gone across BC and Alberta.   https://mobilesyrup.com/2020/07/07/telus-expands-9-95-internet-plan-people-disabilities-alberta-bc/?fbclid=IwAR3UhsDCZpKDZOoVNmPtELLoL6cfVFHf8pUloOGx9I-Wciq1Uq59RQMIz6s

  Not in the United States of America. Our companies are to greedy.

I am grateful though, because we just had to do our 2 year agreement and since we've been with the same company for 20 years. We got a bundle package and SAVED $50 a month and more channels. When I thought there were going to raise us. Thank you God.

Awesome Hollywood! I will try and check if there are any advocacy groups who might be able to take on a similar project in the US

[foxgrove]

Wonderful to hear you got a big discount Hollywood.

Just a heads up I have emailed a US advocacy and social justice group to see what they feel the possibilities are, if they have any knowledge of programs available for you I will let you know.
