Robyn's Story
How has your life changed since becoming a client at Annas Resources?
I have lived on my own for 3-4 years. I have been president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer of my self-advocacy group. I have worked for UNC for 10 years, as of this coming July. I go out and train the Occupational Course Study students (9-12 grade students) to be trainers for other students. I teach people about seizures, cancer, and strokes by giving out brochures. At work, I have learned a lot from my friend, who is the first person with a disability to graduate from the Americorps program in North Carolina.
Annas Resources has helped me try to keep my house clean and has helped with trying to develop organizational skills. It is helpful to have my representative payee to keep my checkbooks.

Megan's Story
How has your life changed since becoming a client at Annas Resources?
I think I’ve become a great deal more independent, self-sufficient, capable of getting my life and health organized and asserting myself. Annas Resources has helped me with daily living skills, cleaning skills, assertiveness skills, how to handle emotions and validating my own emotions rather than ignoring or fighting with them. I think I’ve been treated very well, with respect to my rights and emotions. I think there’s been a great deal of improvement in my self esteem and finding skills to handle anxiety and frustration without panicking and being available when I need an extra hand or an extra advocate.
