Parker’s Story

“We have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love and that love comes with community.” -Dorothy Day

““What I believe…”What I believe…”Margaret Wheatley (2002)Margaret Wheatley (2002)

We humans want to be together. We only isolate ourselves when we're hurt by others, but alone is not our natural state. Today, we live in an unnatural state --

separating ourselves rather than being together.

Staggering Fact:

Nationwide 56% of students with I/DD

spend their entire day segregated in a self-contained classroom.

 

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

~ Helen Keller
