WHAT IS YOUR SUMMIT?

It is no surprise that the last few years have been difficult for everyone. We have trudged through a global pandemic, uncertain human rights movements, a chaotic political climate, and so much more.

On a smaller scale, we at Summit have lost dear friends, and a steadfast leader. We have navigated through big changes in staff, policy, and family. But we have come out stronger and we continue to march forward with a renewed hope and steadfast determination.

As we reflect on these last few years, it is so important to remember why we are here, why we do what we do. We need to remember what Summit is to us as staff members, board members, peers, consumers, family, and members of our many communities.

We ask that you consider what Summit means to you. Does it mean that you or your family can live more independently? Does it bring you a sense of friendship and belonging? Do you feel inspired to be more active in bringing change to your community? We invite you to share your story, your thoughts, so that we can take these and reach new heights and new summits!

As you think about donating this year, please consider donating to Summit Independent Living. You may donate using the donation form to the right, even if it’s just a dollar or two, so that we can continue our work, aiding and inspiring others in the disability community to reach for new heights and ascend new summits they never knew they could. Or spread the word, tell your friends and family about us, and encourage them to donate today. Every little bit helps us in pursuit of our mission to advance the independence and civil rights of people with disabilities.
