Over the last five years, we have continued to blaze our own path and exceed all expectations. While our determination has proven to be successful inspiring others and being active in our community, we also recognize the importance of asking for support. There are times when we simply can’t do it alone.
We are actively working to find the right avenue and raise funds to provide supports in expanding our family. While we are looking for monetary funds, it is essential to us that these community fundraising events serve to celebrate and enhance connections within our community.
Specific needs include an accessible van, additional physical assistance for Barton and Megan individually, adaptive equipment such as a stroller attachment for a motorized wheelchair, accessible crib and baby carrier attachment for a motorized wheelchair.
We hope that you will join us in attending Family For Us Community Events- celebrating and fostering a sense of community and family.

~ Before the Acuba, Francis stands contemplating a new coat of snow.
~ Snow! In astonishment the dog stands licking the brisk air.

Barton and Megan have an inter-ability relationship, and many people have questions about how they met, marriage with someone who has a disability and how they manage daily life. Together, they educate and teach others the power of love just by walking down the street. Together, they teach that love can roll on, no matter what the circumstances.
We are excited to announce the launch of Cutter's Word, your source for all your communication needs including workshops in writing skills, creative journaling, self defense, Disabled Protection, and other specialty topics.
