Opening Doors
to a Good Life
The Door to Health Care
In Mary’s family, adoption is a tradition. She and her sisters were
adopted, and now she has three adopted children of her own.
All of Mary’s children started out in life with challenges. Jo has
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Peter has Autism, and Christian
has Central Audio Processing Disorder. Mary worked hard to
obtain the help they needed, but it was a struggle. “All I did was
fight,” she said.
In 2014, the family moved from Missouri to Minnesota, where
Mary grew up. She found The Arc Greater Twin Cities while
looking for services and within days, she was meeting with her
Arc advocate, Jen.
The biggest challenge was health insurance.
“I filled out the MNsure form, but there were two problems. I was
from out of state, and they had just started using a new computer
system that split us up instead of treating us as a family,” Mary
said. “It was a nightmare. Jen and I were both calling the county
twice a week. Things started falling into line when Jen was able
to consolidate our information, and we finally got confirmation of
insurance in July.”
Health care is one of many doors that are opening for the family.
Peter is becoming more outgoing, even performing in school
plays. Christian is doing well in school and exploring athletics. Jo,
who has been wrestling on her high school’s team, will graduate
in June.
And for Mary, life is no longer a constant struggle. “I battled for
so many years that I just got into that mode,” she said. “But with
The Arc, I don’t have to go it alone. I have more freedom and less
worry. It’s brought a sense of peace into my life.”

OPENING DOORS TO A GOOD LIFE

Opening Doors
to a Good Life
The Door to Education
Education is a crucial door to any child’s future, but that door
sometimes looks like a barrier to parents of children with
intellectual and developmental disabilities. When school is a
concern, many parents turn to The Arc Greater Twin Cities.
Susan contacted The Arc when the school district wanted to
transfer her daughter Chloe to a different school. “That would
have been hard for our family and denied Chloe the opportunity
to be in school with her sisters and friends,” Susan said.
With The Arc’s help, Susan was able to keep Chloe in her
neighborhood school. Since then, she has continued to work with
her Arc advocate, Jacki, gaining skills and knowledge of her own.
“I need to be the strongest advocate I can be,” Susan said. “I’m
not an education expert, but I know my daughter, and I want her
to have the best that the school can provide.
“Jacki has been a great coach,” she continued. “She’s very
knowledgeable about education, and she can be objective when
issues are emotional for me.”
Inclusion is now Susan’s main goal. “I believe Chloe benefits from
being with her classmates, even as the curriculum accelerates.
And I believe there’s value to the other students in having Chloe
in the classroom.”
She added, “I don’t need to defend her right to be in the classroom.
That’s already been done. Instead, I want to take the offense in
approaching her opportunities. It’s not ‘I don’t want that.’ It’s ‘I
do want this.’ That makes it a totally different conversation.”
In the end, it’s all about Chloe’s future. “Chloe has dreams like
anybody else,” said Susan. “I would love to have people see her
for what she can do rather than what she can’t, because she can
do a lot.”

Opening Doors
to a Good Life
The Door to Independence
There are many doors to an independent life for an adult with an
intellectual or developmental disability – employment, housing,
social connections and other crucial elements. Sometimes finding
the key to one door can make all the difference.
Mike and Linda first connected with The Arc Greater Twin Cities
about four years ago for help planning the future with their son
Tony, who has Asperger’s syndrome. One of their goals was
finding a place for Tony to live outside their home.
Then the family’s world turned upside down when Linda passed
away unexpectedly. The loss was very hard for Tony, and after
a memorial service for his mother in October, he went into an
emotional downward spiral that led to his hospitalization. “We
needed to figure out what would happen when Tony got out of
the hospital, because he was pretty unhappy,” Mike said.
Mike turned to The Arc. His advocate, Brad, immediately began
working to get county services and housing for Tony. The
intensive effort paid off: in December, Tony moved into an
apartment with onsite staff support. “A lot happened in those
two months, and Brad was in the middle of it,” Mike said.
Today, Tony is a happy person. He loves his new apartment and
the support staff who work with him. “It’s been a 180 degree
turnaround,” said Mike.
Mike said that The Arc was instrumental in that turnaround.
“Working with an experienced advocate helped us reach this
good ending,” he said. “Brad gave me confidence that we would
find a solution, and that confidence got us through some tough
times. Now Tony is happy and looking forward to the future.
“I think we’re at the beginning of this journey with The Arc,
not the end of it,” he said.

“We know some great families who have loved ones with disabilities, and we’ve seen the challenges they face. We appreciate
what The Arc has done to help them, so we wanted to provide financial support for its work. We also appreciate the
commitment Deloitte has made to The Arc by supporting The Arc Gala and providing pro bono assistance. It’s a wonderful
opportunity to support an organization that does such a great job of helping individuals and families.”

“I have a 58-year-old brother with Down syndrome in
Wisconsin, in the same town where he’s lived since he
was 7. My mother was very progressive, and we were
always active in The Arc. There were few resources
then, but The Arc has educated people and now it’s a
different world. The Arc promotes such a positive view

2014 Arc Gala: A Place to Call Home
Safe, affordable housing in the community is
a door to an independent life for many adults
with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The 2014 Arc Gala, A Place to Call Home, raised
$156,682 specifically for housing-related programs
and services through its Fund-A-Need appeal.
One major effort accomplished with this generous
support was a series of housing conferences to
explore innovative housing solutions as a community.
Creative Housing: Bringing the Pieces Together
featured information ranging from finance to
support services to roommates for people at all
stages of their housing search. Through the
conference and other support from The Arc
Greater Twin Cities, nearly 600 people were
connected with critical housing resources.
Thanks to sponsors, donors and guests of the
2014 Arc Gala, adults with disabilities and their
families have more resources to help turn the
dream of a home into reality.

“I became a health care intern at The Arc Greater Twin Cities as part of my master’s degree
program in social work. I’ve become a certified MNsure navigator, and I help families get
vital health care services for their family member with a disability. It’s been amazing to see
how The Arc embraces all cultures and serves the whole person. Someday I hope to work in
public policy and advocacy at a broader level, and this one-to-one experience is helping me
understand the challenges people face.”

“Comcast has an annual volunteer day called Comcast Cares Day. We’ve been volunteering
at Arc’s Value Village since 2008, and our volunteers tell us they love it there. Arc’s Value
Village is in their neighborhoods, it’s well-organized, they can bring their kids with them,
and they feel like they’re making an impact close to the home front. We’ve also been honored
to support Arc Value Village with more than $14,000 in Comcast Cares Day Foundation
grants since 2008. All in all, it’s been a great partnership and a great fit for Comcast and
our volunteers.”

“At one year old, my daughter Jacqui’s diagnosis of ‘failure to thrive’ became much more ominous. We were barraged by a lot
of acronyms like CDD (Cognitive Developmental Delays). Thankfully, our ‘alphabet soup’ included ARC, now The Arc. Their
workshops and events have helped us smoothly transition through Jacqui’s first 20 years. Now we give back by volunteering
at The Arc Gala. This amazing event happens expressly for Jacqui and others like her, and the outpouring of support is
overwhelming. It gives me hope for Jacqui’s future.”

We thank the following individuals who shared their hands and hearts as regular volunteers at Arc’s Value Village
Thrift Stores & Donation Centers in 2014. We also thank those who volunteered on an occasional basis or as part
of a group.
“I began volunteering at Arc’s Value Village at the suggestion of my significant other, Mary Lou Carlson, who has volunteered
there for many years. I was immediately impressed by the warmth and enthusiasm of the staff and volunteers. When I learned
about The Arc’s mission, I made volunteering at Value Village part of my life. My focus is working with the donated books,
especially those of value. It’s something I love to do, and it helps The Arc in its mission.”

“Interns at The Arc have the opportunity to do work that matters. My focus
is human resources and volunteer management, but I’ve also gained
experience in project management, outreach and the administrative side
of the organization. The Arc has taught me that each individual’s efforts,
working together and building synergy, can achieve a huge success like
the Arc Gala. It’s a very nurturing organization that gives back to the
community; a great place for opportunity and self-discovery.”
