In the heart of Florida’s disability community, stories of resilience, triumph and dreams realized are everywhere. ABLE United account holders Lamont, Camryn and Caleb are proof of this.
Lamont’s story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit. A quadriplegic since a spinal injury in 1997, Lamont’s path to financial security was full of challenges. Relying solely on Social Security, saving seemed unimaginable, until he discovered ABLE United in 2018. Lamont’s decision to open an account was a pivotal moment, and the beginning of a new chapter in his financial empowerment. For Lamont, ABLE United isn’t just a financial tool; it’s a beacon of hope, reminding him that his dreams are attainable.
For Camryn, diagnosed with an intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder, ABLE United is a gateway to independence. Camryn is carving a path toward a future bright with possibilities. Her ABLE United account serves as a foundation for financial security, empowering her to pursue her passions and aspirations with confidence.
Caleb’s story is one of advocacy and determination. His parents, Karen and David, played a pivotal role in advocating for the passage of the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act, recognizing the importance of saving for the future of individuals like Caleb within the Down Syndrome community. With the support of ABLE United, Caleb is not only saving for his future, he’s also pursuing his passions, like competing in triathlons with a new bike. For Caleb and his family, ABLE United represents more than just financial security; it’s a lifeline to independence and fulfillment.
These stories run deep within the ABLE United community, and inspire others to embrace their dreams and confidently begin their own journeys of financial independence. As Lamont, Camryn and Caleb demonstrate, an ABLE United account is more than a savings account; it can be a catalyst for transformation, symbolizing hope, possibility and the promise of a brighter future.
