ADAPTING INTRODUCTION: The ADAPTING nonprofit corporation is creating a better world for the physically disadvantaged through specialized training, peer support, and counseling in an unhurried nurturing environment for the purpose of restoring self esteem, and the successful reintegration of the disabled individual into society. ADAPTING has a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service as a 501c3 nonprofit corporation that is engaged in specialized vocational training of low income disabled individuals for the purpose of removing them from public assistance and enabling them to earn wages in mid-income levels. Thereby, not only providing the opportunity to support themselves but their families as well. This program provides the opportunity for disadvantaged people to become independent wage earners who can again afford the basic and simple things in life such as placing good food on the table, or dressing the kids in nice clothes for school. Many times during catastrophic health events such as limb loss many individuals suffer from depression or grief. They have questions to ask so they can better cope with their new situation. They must adapt. We help this process with peer support, counseling and other assistance in an unhurried nurturing environment. The recovery must take place one step at a time. Let ADAPTING help those in need through supporting us with your donations!
