Options is a lifeline for people with Disabilities. It is a
jobsite where people with Intellectual Disabilities go to have a job if they
otherwise could not. It provides them with a great opportunity they would not
have if they lived anywhere else. It makes them more independent because they get
a paycheck like everyone else and can pay for their own things.
Closing this great place would be disastrous for the people who
depend on it so much. The people who work there love it there. There have been
rumors of it closing for a long time, but this time it is a little more
serious. The Gazette even wrote an article on them possibly closing their
doors. I know it is a little expensive of a program to have, but it helps so
many people.
It also helps in other ways you wouldn’t think of. It opens
more basic level jobs that the people that work at Options would take.
