We provide resources and information to help educate the community, caregivers, and physically disabled persons that help people with physical impairments improve their quality of life at home, at work, and in the community.
Our programs help persons with disabilities improve their quality of life through health and wellness, education and economic empowerment. Our current programs include adaptive wellness classes, self-defense classes, financial grants, and advocating for affordable, accessible housing.
We work with community organizations and large companies to improve the quality of life for persons with disabilities, educate the community, build networks among persons with disabilities and develop relationships to grow our programs and resources.
