"Disabled Residents Rally For Awareness"
Virginia Hill is another example of individuals who find themselves "socially excluded" from many things that average citizens take for granted. While she is "Mentally Impaired" this disability has not stopped her from trying to improve her life.
Virginia's steadfastness for better education and employment opportunities for the disabled is something to be admired. Too often in our society, physical or mental impairments leave individuals ostracized from the so called "normal" life that most of us enjoy.I hope that our legislators will give the issues that Virgina and others are bringing to the table their full attention. These citizens deserve their voices to be heard and to be treated with dignity and respect.
For more information on Virginia Hill see news article posted on this blog.
Sincerely, Mark J. Young
