Disability Community Support

My goal in this web log (blog) is to provide you support and a place to find resources and help during what is probably one of the most frustrating, frightening and costly times you are facing; a time of disability.

Much of my work focuses on financial support. There are links to interviews on how to apply and win your benefits, maximize your chances of winning, maximize your benefits and information about jobs.

Much like life, I recognize that information about disability benefits is 3-dimensional. The first dimension being you – the most important part. A second dimension would be what I try to provide often – the tangible benefits, the information about the financial and benefits pieces. A third dimension is one that is VERY critical – one that we will call community.

Community involves your support network. Often those with disability find their community of support has significantly decreased. Many times this is a result of no longer having coworkers to interact with daily or being unable to easily get out and about within your physical community.

Other times not being involved in a community means just not having emotional energy to interact with others. It might take an extraordinary amount of energy for you or your loved one to make it through a day, much less interact within their community; yet that is precisely what people need to do to help stave off depression and the feeling of isolation!

Humans are not meant to live in a vacuum! From birth, we crave interaction with others. When we impose isolation upon ourselves, we suffer.

To fill the gap that is created by disability, we have created an entire community devoted to you and, like this site; it is FOR YOU, BY YOU, AND ENTIRELY FREE! Something I am particularly pleased to tell you, is that the site team knows how you feel and what you have gone through. They have all been there, and struggle with YOUR same issues!

A team of people who are disabled and can think, feel and have many experiences and contacts to help you moderates the Disability Digest Community.

Please drop by and have a look around. We invite you to sit back, put your feet up and help us help each other!

Most Sincerely,
