Supporting Each Other
It
is a matter of having a serious disAbility, yet living independently,
being productive and enjoying life. It is families and individuals
having a support network when the wheelchair breaks, the insurance company
balks or transportation becomes a barrier.
disAbility Connections assists and advocates on behalf of individuals and
families who deal with the effects of disease and disAbility.
Sometimes that means lending crutches or shower stools. It means
relieving parents who care for a child with disAbilities 24 hours a day.
It means giving a young adult a computer or equipping a person with an
electronic device so that one finger or toe that he or she can move can be
used to send messages to others for the very first time.
disAbility Connections got its start over 75 years ago. It is a
unique, non-profit agency that helps make Jackson County so special.
Funded primarily by local donations, serving only Jackson County
residents, disAbility Connections is neighbors supporting neighbors.
