Susan is a part of our Supported Independent Living Program in Haliburton and is here to say that dreams can definitely come true! Read on to hear her story.
“Hi, my name is Susan. I live outside of the village of Haliburton and relied heavily on the local Taxi service to access my community. As you can imagine, the cost was very expensive and draining on my account.
I have looked at other methods of transportation, including walking, which I have done many, many times.
I have wanted an e-bike for a long time, as this would free up my money and allow me the opportunity to use my passport funding for fun things instead of it all going to pay for transportation.
My staff assisted me with writing letters to 3 local service agencies, and can you imagine, 2 of them donated to my cause. I am so very thankful for them; they made my dream come true.
Now I can come and go on my new e-bike. I am so excited, not only do I have an e-bike, but I can also now access my passport funding for fun things to get me out.
I thought I would pass along some good news!!!”
