Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Centers to Support the Independence of Specific Populations, Civil Rights, Disabilities, Disabled Persons Rights, Health, Home Health Care, Human Services
Mission: Delta center partners with people with disabilities and their communities to remove barriers and promote positive changes leading to greater independence for all.
Results: A woman named Joan contacted Delta Center wanting to learn more about finances and budgeting. She shared that she was in a strained relationship. There was no physical or mental abuse involved, but they both had mental and physical health challenges. Her partner was her payee and she felt he was controlling and secretive about their finances. In order to gain independence, she wanted to understand more about how her money was being managed so she could manage it herself. An Independent Living Skills Training around budgeting and resource management was scheduled. By the time she had completed her Skills Training, she developed an entire monthly budget, spoken with her partner about their finances, and was feeling very confident about knowing where her money came from and where it was going. She realized she was actually doing a great job of living within her means. She was also able to see that her partner had been fairly and honestly handling his responsibilities as her payee. Now Joan wants to learn to use a computer, quit smoking, and find constructive, enriching ways to spend her time. Her appearance and demeanor have completely changed for the better. It has been amazing to see the transformation!
