Louise first came to nearly 40 years ago. She had recently been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and knew Viscardi provided services that would support her job search.
"When I was diagnosed with MS, no one would hire me. I went to Viscardi to see if they could help me find a job – and instead, they hired me."
Louise spent more than 10 years building a career at Viscardi, and today she gives back as a Viscardi Visionary because she knows firsthand how one opportunity can change a life.
Monthly supporters like Louise help provide the steady support that empowers children and adults with disabilities to learn, grow, work, and thrive every day.
Join Louise by becoming a Viscardi Visionary at: https://viscardicenter.org/monthly/
Thank you to every Viscardi Visionary for believing in what's possible.
