Dear Friend,

As a concerned parent, you know your child with a disability sometimes needs extra: extra attention, extra love, and extra resources.

Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Earnings from work or income received from government programs such as SSI (Supplemental Security Income) aren't always enough. On the other hand, if your child is Medicaid-eligible, he or she may be disqualified if he or she inherits or accumulates too many assets.

This puts you between a rock and a hard place - not enough money and your child risks not having sufficient funds to continue her standard of living - too much and he/she may be disqualified from assistance.

So what do you do? How do you protect your child's assets without disqualifying him/her from critical government programs? What can you do now to provide for your child when you are no longer available?

The ARCare Trust I and II

ARCare is a non-profit formal advocacy and guardianship program for families of children with disabilities. In 1996, ARCare established the ARCare Trust I and II. The trusts give you a way to provide extra resources for your child - now and in the future - without jeopardizing his/her eligibility for government assistance. The ARCare Trust 1 lets you leave funds to your child upon your death without endangering the government benefits he or she receives. The ARCare Trust II allows you to protect assets now which belong to your child with a disability, enabling him to remain eligible for all programs and benefits to which he is entitled.

The ARCare trusts are handled by professionals who volunteer their time so we can charge fees that are lower than most banks, which means more funds are available for your child. And when you set up an ARCare Trust, we handle all the paperwork for you, so you can focus on what is important: the well-being of your child.

Please feel free to explore our web site. It will show you how the ARCare Trust I and II can help protect your child with a disability. Take the next step; call Barbara Helm at (913) 648-0233 to enroll in the ARCare trust.

There is no better feeling in the world than the peace of mind you will have knowing that your child will receive the extras they need...now and in the future.
