18th Annual Michael Spano Golf Tournament

 

The Promise of Independence and Choice…

Like most young men, Michael Spano had a dream to live independently from his parents. And, he loved to make his own choices. Today, thousands of people with disabilities are denied those same choices. They are denied those choices not because they have no dreams—not because they are incapable of making those choices. They are denied independence and choice because the options and support are simply not there.

The Gift of a Wheelchair-Accessible Van

Written by Olivia B.

The Gift of a Wheelchair-Accessible Van
It was a party in Northland at Longwood’s foyer as people gathered around a family on the brink of a life-changing moment. A young woman named Karmann sat, dressed in her Sunday best, in a large wheelchair. She let out peals of laughter every few minutes, drawing smiles from her mother, Christina, and sister, Kayla.

The family was awaiting the arrival of a wheelchair-accessible van, a gift from the joint efforts of the Michael Spano Foundation and various Northlanders and distributed churches.

The Gift of a Wheelchair-Accessible Van“People don’t realize how limiting it can be to load over 150 pounds into and out of the car every time we go somewhere,” Christina explained. “When people help me transfer Karmann and the wheelchair into our car, they ask, ‘How do you do this every day?’”
