As you may know, I’ve been involved with Mattingly Edge for 5 years. I first connected with this incredible organization through Steven Michael Carr when talking about my childhood friend, Hannah. Hannah was such a magical human who happened to have intellectual disabilities. As we grew up together, it never occurred to me that she wasnt a complete part of my community and world. I then learned that most people with her disabilities don't have the same privileges. THE work they do to empower people with disabilities to lead fulfilling, integrated lives truly inspires me and honors the memory of Hannah in amazing ways.
Mattingly Edge is about breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They help individuals find meaningful work, build relationships, and live in their own homes. It’s not just about services—it’s about ensuring everyone can lead a life full of purpose!
That’s why I’m raising funds for Mattingly Edge and why I’d love your support! Your donation will directly impact people with disabilities, helping them achieve their goals and thrive in our community. Every dollar counts! Together, we can make a real difference.
Please consider supporting my fundraiser by donating or sharing this page. Thank you for being part of this journey and helping create a more inclusive world!
