Ability 4 Us, a dedicated advocacy organization, tirelessly champions the rights and empowerment of individuals with disabilities. Their unwavering commitment extends to advocating for a 4% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) in New York State, addressing the staffing crisis. At the heart of their mission lies the recognition of Direct Support Professionals (DSPs)—the unsung heroes who provide essential services to people with disabilities. These DSPs play a vital role in supporting individuals with developmental disabilities, aging populations, medically fragile patients, and those transitioning into community-based living from care facilities. However, recognizing and rewarding DSPs is crucial to retaining their dedication and motivation.
Now, Ability 4 Us seeks our collective assistance in a new endeavor: raising funds for more independent housing and programs. Independent living is a cornerstone of dignity and choice for individuals with disabilities. By providing safe, accessible, and supportive housing, we empower them to lead fulfilling lives. These housing initiatives foster self-sufficiency, community integration, and a sense of belonging. But they require financial support.
Your contribution matters. Whether it’s a small donation or a larger investment, every dollar counts. Together, we can create a future where all individuals have the chance to succeed.

Let’s build a more inclusive society—one where independent housing and programs thrive, and everyone’s potential is realized1223.
