I'm in.
One of the founding board members of my agency was a woman with MS.
Beginning in the late 1970s, she was one of the main energizing forces
behind the creation of the organization.
She never compromised on living independently and encouraging others with
disabilities to do so. She pushed us hard to establish the first
consumer-directed homecare organization in our region. That model has since
been adopted for the entire range of community-based disability support
services by New York State.
No matter what was going on with her physically, she always had a joke to
tell. She collected them, prized them, and reveled in delivering them.
She passed away in August.
So this donation is in the name of Milrene Smith.
Thanks for the opportunity to celebrate her, Ed.
