Lee has been working away with support staff Tara Vaughn on an exciting project; getting his brand new iPad set up!
Lee was a lucky recipient of the iPad as part of the Choices that can Change Lives Fund that Community Living Toronto offers to people looking to fulfill dreams and change their lives with opportunities they may not have access to otherwise.
Lee has been attending self-advocates meetings and is a vibrant member, always bringing a laugh to the work we do. He has a great inspiring spirit that helps us have fun even when we are tackling challenging issues such as poverty, housing challenges, and other advocacy issues that are priorities for the Self Advocates Council.
He is incredibly articulate and we are thrilled to see Lee having an opportunity like this thanks to the Choices that can Change Lives fund.
Lee says of the iPad “I love music, and playing guitar – and the iPad has a tuning App, so I’m able to tune my guitar. Everybody else has always had things I couldn’t have, and now I have an iPad. It’s great. It’s like the rich get richer and the poor get destitute. We are just living under the poverty line. I’m hoping to get some more training to use the internet more on the iPad, and load it up with more games.
The Self Advocates Council would love a tour through the IPad one day, so join us and Lee can show it off to us.
Congratulations Lee!
