Uniquely the Same has a Facebook Page…and you’re invited to be a part of it! In addition, we have two groups linked to that page: 1) Friends of Uniquely the Same and 2) 5 Pieces of Wood.

This page (and groups) help us to reach out to you and provide an opportunity for you to get to know us better and, most importantly, for us to get to know you! One of the main tenets of Uniquely the Same is that we be ‘relational’. We want to establish authentic caring relationships that help pave the way for changing attitudes – and, in that way, changing the world!

In Facebook, we routinely post motivational sayings, videos – including livestreaming on Facebook Live, and other current accessibility information. There are tabs there that make it easy for you to visit our other social media sites (Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, Google+) to see what’s happening there, as well! You can find us on Facebook at: http://bit.ly/UtS_Facebook. Please drop in and check us out – and “like” and “follow us” so we can stay connected!

You are invited to be a part of the conversation! We celebrate you!

In spite of available services for those affected by disability and those with economic disadvantage, many basic needs are still not being met. Because of the unique circumstances of some individuals, the most fundamental components of self-actualized lives are the most difficult to obtain – fundamental things like, housing, employment, transportation, education, medical resources and authentic community participation. Because of the daily grind faced by these families, they often do not have the time or energy to access these basic quality of life components.

For more than six years, the volunteers of Uniquely the Same, Inc. have been serving people and families affected by disabilities and economic disadvantage. Frequently. those we serve tell us their greatest need is authentic friendship – for someone to come alongside the lives of families and individuals in order to give them practical assistance in confronting the hurdles they face every day.

So Uniquely the Same, Inc. has been established in order to encourage intentional, loving, solutions so that all people can pursue a high quality of life.
