"Working on the Enterline Foundation has given me the opportunity to do more for the IDD community than I could ever do on my own.  This is very personal to me as I've watched my sister and her husband struggle with my nephew, who has a dual diagnosis of IDD and bi-polar schizophrenia.  As he became an adult, the services for him (and my sister) disappeared. I also have other family members with young adults on the Autism Spectrum and I realized this community was under-served and many people, not just my family, needed help with finding resources, information and assistance, as well as long-term planning. It's great to be able to help those families as well as those special people who provide the care this community desperately needs."
