At 15-years-old, Sean is as big as a star.
He has been active in different activities over the years, but his real passion is singing and dancing. He has been in a many musicals and plays where he has memorized lyrics, choreography and speaking parts. His mother, Michelle, explains, “Sean brings great joy to those around him, whether he’s performing or simply by talking to a new acquaintance.”
“I first learned about ABLE United from a friend, but it wasn’t until I attended Family Café that I really got to understand the benefits of having an account,” said Michelle.
Currently, the family is using Sean’s account as a tax-free option to save for his future, but they are also planning to use it alongside his Special Needs Trust. “Sean’s ABLE United account allows us to pay for some items that he can’t with his trust – we’ve found that they work together nicely.”
Most importantly, his account will allow him to save his own money without jeopardizing his benefits that help cover medical services.
“Sean has great potential to live a fulfilling life in the future with help from family, friends and his ABLE United account,” said Michelle.
