Today is a very special episode with the founders of the Abby Lou Foundation, Mr. Jeremy Creager and his lovely wife, Lisa. They have a daughter who was born with Down’s Syndrome and they realized that as she got older, the quality and availability of services available to her as an adult was kind of a bleak picture. It was a little bit frustrating and depressive that the quality of experiences outside of their home that were available to their daughter was lacking, so initially that was the goal, to create a foundation that would advocate and educate our friends with disabilities to let them know that they have the power and ability to shop around and that they deserve high quality products. Tune in with us today to hear about their story and how the Abby Lou Foundation helps to change the lives of many others like their daughter.

“Regardless of what anybody tells you, there’s no limitations to the number of programs you can try. As long as there’s a program out there willing to give you a try, you have the opportunity and if you already have the money for this program assigned to you, then you have the opportunity to try as many cookies, or brownies, or muffins, or any number of desserts out there until you find the one that’s just right for you.” 26:42
