At Opportunity Works, our days are not just ordinary days;
our days are full of stories of true success!
Life always presents challenges. As you ponder your life experiences, have you ever wondered what it would be like if you or any of your loved ones were unable to see, speak, hear, walk, move or be intellectually challenged? How different would your life be? What obstacles would you encounter? Individuals with developmental disabilities such as Carole have overcome many obstacles in life that we could never dream of undertaking. She truly sees life differently. She knows the true meaning of happiness by experiencing love through the simple things in life. Her never-ending smile gives it away. Since 1974, Opportunity Works has supported adults with developmental disabilities to experience the freedom to live, work and enjoy a valued role in society. Through a variety of programs and services that range from life skills to vocational training and day habilitation, our mission is to help individuals feel a strong sense of belonging in the community and become as independent as possible. When you support Opportunity Works, you invest in programs that truly impact the lives of people with developmental disabilities and their families throughout the Merrimack Valley! "If we open our minds and hearts to see through the eyes of people with disabilities, we could easily learn a thousand separate lessons; the most important one being that none of us is perfect. Help us promote our mission!" To learn how you can support Opportunity Works and make a difference, call us at 978-462-6144 extension 231.

 She Sees it Differently Written by: Kathleen Ludwick Photograph by: Emily Wiswell She sees it differently She's out on her own It's snowing outside And she's without a home Under a bridge Is where she resides A character in town On everyone's mind A woman who knows her Is willing to help Is wanting to take her To ease all she's felt She sees it differently She's not on her own With a family and job She now has a home. Excerpt from the Book Building Bridges, Opening Eyes Written for Carole Tobin A Collaborative Project with the Newburyport High School Students |
