See what Don thinks of LWIC

"It is a good thing. I would recommend the class, without a doubt… It helps you learn more ways to approach obstacles, which is critical. People are fighting different battles, but with the same things to figure out… It was supportive and enlightening to know life is not over. I can still find ways to be productive and feel good about myself and not feel like I am a burden on others." - Don P., LWIC Participant
