One day, in the middle of the wilderness, a weak meat fortress, there was a bottle with a narrow spout that looked like a bottle of coke. The animals, one by one, began to show interest in the little bottle. However, for some reason, even after a few days have passed, the animal's attachment to disease does not fade. Even if it was an animal, it would be boring to have intelligence. However, after some time passed, I found the reason and found that there was food in the bottle that the animals liked.
There's no way of knowing who put it. But I think he is a very brave and naive person. Since the same bottle and the same food are always in the same place, it becomes a food holder for animals.
When a strange sight turns to familiarity, we witness a strange situation again. Pangolins with long tongues are quite easy to eat while lying down, whereas foxes who are famous for their intelligence find it difficult to get food in their hands due to their physical characteristics. Of course, you can eat food that falls on the floor by dropping the bottle to the side, but the fox is stubborn and maintains a posture in which pangolins eat in abundance. A story about a fox who struggles with an illness for a while and returns with a sad expression on his face.
It's not clear exactly where we heard it from, but the lessons from this clear story teach us that no matter how good the intention is to share something good, it's useless if it's not easy for each of us. Therefore, the conclusion that has a heavy weight is to consider how to practice it rather than prioritizing intentions.

There is a reason to tell this story. when I was very unfamiliar with the term activity assistance. At that time, volunteer work was known as 'self-help' rather than activity assistance. If self-sufficiency was temporary and there was no pay, or if you worked a very small amount, activity assistance was an extension of self-sufficiency and specialized in helping people with disabilities. It is a service created to ensure the autonomous activity and life of persons with disabilities, who are a socially vulnerable group, and further contribute to an independent life.
From then until now, the number of people I met with the author was roughly 15. However, worthy of the activity assistant name, I only got it right three times. The rest, many of them did not finish for various reasons, some even left without a day. And because the three times I did it right were three people, not three times, but two out of three times the same person, and that angelic person was an 'acquaintance'.
The wages are low, but it is useless from the point of view of giving them power, and the user has to look for an assistant, a senior one. Even people with severe disabilities have no income due to difficult work, but the responsibility for the costs of both activities rests with the user in principle. The reality is that other difficulties coexist for both the assistant and the user. The author, who values communication, talked with them for a long time too, and reached a consensus. If the period is short, I communicate throughout the short period and listen to the problems they are having, and try to make it my own.

However, the more I use the service, the more I find that it may be due to the deviation of individual tendencies, but the more important factor is the defect in the service itself. Even so, I couldn't just blame policy, and since I couldn't forgive the complaints in front of me, I honestly scolded my little brother several times.
However, the problem didn't stop there. There is no male power as long as there is no younger brother to fight. Currently, more than 99% of the active assistant population are middle-aged women. Severely disabled people who need general assistance with movement are assisted by female assistants as there is no other alternative.
However, male assistants are urgently needed for labor-intensive tasks, such as bathing, washing face, and defecating. Despite this urgent need, the population of male assistants has also dried up, and now, assistants have also reached a situation where they avoid persons with severe disabilities regardless of gender.
Family activity assistance has emerged as a realistic alternative to the beneficiary situation. Even for the same age group, his skills weren't worth discussing. If you could say it should be implemented immediately, but there are also objections. The family earns. As a family, the quality of service cannot be guaranteed. The reason is that it goes against the original goal of promoting an independent life.
Worse, the assistants claim the right to rest, saying they are not guaranteed adequate rest. Therefore, the government requires assistants to have a rest period system which will be implemented starting next July.
Allowed activities support company rest time and family activity assistance

Of course, it's true that those who help should also take a break, but there's the issue of whether that's realistically possible. And if family activities are allowed, it may not be an alternative for those without a family. However, for those who are in dire need in the current situation where there is a shortage of manpower, family activity assistance will be a good alternative.
Problems like stealing money and not receiving proper service can be solved if you take it seriously. Stories like obstacles to the possibility of independent living are really interesting stories. I'm sorry now, but what... In fact, only a few years ago, I was against the help of family activities. However, the years I've lived have turned me into a bit of the 'true' me.
The fox, who wanted to chase after the pangolin, for some reason damaged his intelligence. Of course, it was also the fox's fault. But the unknown person who fed him was also at fault. This is an unconditional distribution that does not take into account the appearance of the animal. The same applies to the welfare of persons with disabilities. If we don't take into account our disability and circumstances, we might as well face a miserable fox situation.
