WELCOMELife
at the Creek Cottage is my home site. My name is Keri, I am one of two
individuals who - along with our two theraputic companion dogs - have
formed a
mutual aid household. The household began in March of 2004, in the town of Albany Oregon USA.
Mission Statement
The mission of this site is to share information,
resources, experience, strength, and hope within the disability community and the greater online community.
This is a
very diverse community, made up of individuals of all ages and
abilities, encompassing both people who are considered disabled and
their friends, families and supporters. As such, the use of the site is
not restricted and does not require membership or registration.
Goals
-
To promote and encourage
self-determination and self-advocacy for persons with
disabilities.
-
To provide access to other online
resources in keeping with our Mission.
-
To promote the use of the computers and
the internet, online shopping, and online services as an adaptive
and assistive strategy, a means of self-empowerment and a tool for
independent living.
- To enable both the site owner and the
site itself to become fully self-supporting.
