Meet Andy and Learn How He’s Flourishing in His Community
In honor of International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3, we are proud to share the inspiring story of Andy, whose determination and passion show us what’s possible when people are given the right supports. Andy is a member of our sister organization, LIFEPlan CCO NY, which provides care management to individuals in Upstate NY. ACANY and LIFEPlan CCO are sister organizations committed to delivering excellence and providing opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities across New York State.
Thanks to his Care Manager Megan and the unwavering love and advocacy of his mom, Christine, Andy hasn’t just received care, he found purpose. Through volunteer work at his high school and now hands on service at The Carlucci Senior Home in Port Jervis, N.Y., he helps prepare lunch and supports daily activities for older adults in his community.
Andy’s story is a powerful reminder that disability doesn’t limit potential. With respect, opportunity, and support, everyone can contribute, belong, and flourish.
We celebrate Andy’s journey and invite you to watch his full story and reflect on the many ways our members enrich our communities every day.
