For 60 years, Abilities Network has transformed the lives of individuals and families in need by providing community-based, individualized programs that offer the support necessary to break down barriers and help them reach their full potential.
Unfortunately, the economic downturn has widened disparities between people with and without disabilities, leading to growing waiting lists for early intervention, community support, and employment services. While budgets are debated, thousands of individuals lack access to essential resources.
Amid these challenges, the perspectives of our community members and supporters highlight the vital impact of Abilities Network in fostering inclusion and empowerment. To sustain this important work across Maryland, we need your help.
A glimpse into voices of support:
- “I support Abilities Network because the mission is personally meaningful to me. The vulnerable members of our community need support and there is no better agency to provide that support than Abilities Network.” –Tina Beliveau, Donor
- “Abilities Network helps me with accessing the choices that are available to me in my community” – Stephen H., Community Partners
- “I think Abilities Network is great! They help me try new things and my life is better because of that.” – Brian C., Community Partners
- “I support Abilities Network because it is a service provider with a civil rights backbone. Abilities Network provides crucial support services to individuals whose needs make them vulnerable, but approaches its mission with respect for the individuals it serves and for their autonomy. As a disability rights attorney and as the parent of a daughter with significant disabilities, this is why I choose to be an Abilities Network board member and to support this organization.” –Leslie Seid Margolis, Board member
