EmPowering The Differently Enabled

1. Sharing the Gospel message through Emily Shanahan's motivational speaking and writing:
Emily's life verse:
“As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, ‘Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?’ 3 ’Neither this man nor his parents sinned,’ said Jesus, ’but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.’” John 9:1-3 NIV

2. Establish Personal Achievement Councils or PAC's:
The PAC's goal will be to provide a “road map” for families in the following areas:
● Spiritual
● Emotional
● Medical
● Educational
● Financial
● Transportation
● Develop Personal Care Teams: Create a written step-by-step daily care plan, weekly scheduling for flexibility, By-Laws for a strong team foundation and encouragement events to feed into the lives of those who are helping daily.

Learn to advocate as a team with love and grace. Invite the local church to engage in practical ways of serving families--with healthy boundaries and a partnership established by the PAC.

3. Obtain, create or adapt existing Durable Medical Equipment within the DME Showroom:
Meet specific daily needs of individuals living with physical limitations. The DME showroom will have pediatric to adult size bath chairs, commode chairs, ceiling and floor lift systems and slings, standers, therapy equipment and wheelchairs.

4. Harriet's Hospitality House:
This respite house will be modified for those living with physical limitations, including an accessible bathroom, ceiling lift, etc. so they can actually try out and envision their own home modified to their needs. Other benefits will be a place to stay while we mentor and equip the family with the needed road map and tools for life back home. Local families may also come and stay for free that are simply in need of respite.
