Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hello everyone My husband, nor I can shovel snow, or mow the lawn. We now use the services from our local Sheltered Workshop. It's $10 each time they shovel our sidewalk, and salt it. They also provide janitorial work, lawn work, snow removal, dog walking, and various other services. The Sheltered Workshops provide employment for those who have developmental disabilities. They are more than willing to work, but need guidance. These folks need guidance and protection from people who would take advantage of them. To find out the services that are availble in your state or communtiy go to www.google.com and type in the name of your city and state. You will have excellent assistance, and provide employment for those who desperately need to work and want to work. There are few things better to give someone dignity than earning a paycheck. I don't know what these groups are called in other countries. No doubt, for those who don't live in the US, there is something like it. Just check Google.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 glad to know that, there's a lot I can't or shouldn't do and I've not had a good resource for help. I'd feel great about paying someone from a sheltered workshop to do the chores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
