"I don't know what I would have done without Abilities Unlimited Disability Services. They
found me a safe home to live in. They made it accessible. They arranged so I could keep
my little dog with me. They gave me a walker and a wheelchair. They even got me a
comfortable bed and couch, so that I wouldn't hurt so bad." Ellen, Bloomington
