Hello folks, our next Self Advocate Discussion Series is taking place
TODAY, at 4pm-5pm Eastern Time (EDT). I’m very excited to announce that we will have a presentation on Financial Wellness. I’m looking forward to seeing folks there!
What is Financial Wellness? Finances refer to money. So financial wellness is like money management. Money management (By yourself or a trusted person) is needed for basic survival in society, so this is a very important topic. People with
disabilities face many obstacles when it comes to financial wellness such as the $2000 resource cliff many people must deal with. I hope you will be able to join us for this presentation, and Q&A to ask your own questions about financial wellness afterwards.
I’m excited to announce our speaker will be Mark Raymond Jr., who you can read about below.
Mark Raymond Jr., National Outreach Lead of ABLE today & CEO/Founder of The Spilt Second Foundation
Mark Raymond, Jr. is the CEO & Founder of The Split Second Foundation, an organization committed to breaking barriers for people with disabilities. Mark's life changed in a split second when a tragic accident left him a C-5 quadriplegic.
That tick of the clock will forever influence who he is, pushing him to advocate for others.
Mark has a deep-rooted history of serving the community. From renaming historic streets and landmarks in New Orleans to creating a more accessible and robust rehabilitative health infrastructure in the Gulf South, Mark strives for the advancement
of those most disadvantaged.
