About 1 in 4 people with diabetes will experience a foot ulcer in their lifetime, and untreated ulcers are a major reason diabetes remains the leading cause of non-traumatic lower-limb amputations in the U.S. Many of these complications are preventable with early care and the right protection.

LDH is preparing to distribute 100% federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funds to eligible recipients, including able-bodied adults, within a week.

Beginning next week, full federal benefits will be paid to eligible SNAP households that have not yet received November benefits. All households that have only received 65% since the beginning of November will also receive their remaining 35% next week.

Recipients who received 25% state-funded assistance November 1-4, namely the elderly and disabled, will keep the state-funded assistance and receive the rest of their November federal benefits.

Benefits are being administered to recipients on their usual distribution day of the month.

"For too many blind people, our boundaries are the four walls we live within," said Jeremy Smith, a Colorado Center for the Blind graduate.

"From a spunky eighteen-year-old, I learned to be truly brave, to go and keep going. To the outside observer, my friend Zoe has no fear. Getting lost is a gift, a chance to find yourself. For Zoe, riding the rails to some remote corner of the Denver Metro means pushing boundaries. It is the exercise of their freedom. For too many blind people, our boundaries are the four walls we live within. Without skills, without the capacity to manage our anxiety, there is no world outside. Zoe reminds me that opportunity is the adventure. To be able to go and do is not a chore. It’s not something else to be angry about. Outside is where the light is. I want to absorb that sun on my face, to fill my heart with it."
