The video about my life is a gift to\u2026.
\u25cf People with disabilities whose voices are not being heard.
\u25cf People who are in institutions.
\u25cf People using home and community-based services.
\u25cf Children with disabilities and their families as a way to protect their future opportunities.
\u25cf People First members who are always my first priority.
\u25cf The people I love.<\/p>\n
