About
SIWD Foundation

Supporting Individuals with Disabilities Foundation is a remarkable organization that was born out of a sister company, Supporting Individuals with Disabilities, founded by Mary Frances Vest. Inspired by her son Christopher Vest, and his own journey with disabilities, Frances recognized the pressing need for comprehensive support services in the community that simply weren't available elsewhere. Founded by a mother's love and determination, Frances Vest's personal experience with her son ignited a flame of passion and a deep commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of individuals with disabilities. Witnessing the challenges faced by Christopher, Frances realized that she had the unique opportunity to create and organization that could address the unmet needs of these individuals in a way that no one else could.

 

While most agencies are Business oriented, we are focused on Person Oriented, we understand that every person is unique, and we structure a family-oriented organization to specialize in meeting the needs of every person. Our goal is to make a lasting impact helping people of all abilities and communities around them to strengthen their knowledge, resources and agencies that can help guide and support those that feel like they have no idea where to turn. Join not only our cause to make a difference in the world but our growing FAMILY! Together we can make a difference and create a world where everyone, regardless of ability is valued and included.
