It was just days ago that we were notified that someone had nominated Brady for an award. We’ve had multiple phone calls with the founder, lots of messaging, and a zoom call last night. It was made official today that Brady was chosen as the recipient. He WON!!!
The Makers Community Project is a non-profit organization out of New Jersey, whose goal is to enable and equip disabled makers in a way where they can continue to be creative, work, provide, and enjoy their lives. You’d think this is a very niche market, but you would be surprised!! That means making sure workspaces are safe and equipped, but does not exclude basic life necessities. Read more about them here 🙂 https://www.themakercommunityproject.org and follow them on Instagram!
Brady and I were completely humbled by the fact that they even considered us. Yet they were overflowing with beautiful words about how Brady was the clear choice and they had ZERO reservations about choosing him!
We’ve just been reeling with excitement over here, as this could very well open doors we couldn’t open alone. He’s being promoted and shared all over the place. Donations are being gathered in his name. We are talking about tools and equipment that will be instrumental in Brady taking his woodworking to the next level, where it could truly become our livelihood. This could mean Brady would have work he loves, is capable of, and that he could be flexible with! It would suit our family SO well!
We don’t know all the specifics of what is coming our way, but at the VERY least, we can say with confidence that OPPORTUNITY is knocking!!! 😍
Thank you, Mike, and everyone at Makers!!! We are humbled and honoured to be part of something SO incredible!
Bah! You guys!!!!
Makin me ugly cry. So exciting.
