For companies that are looking into hiring people with a disability, I have one thing to say: Give us a chance.

-David, Prep cook, Wake Robin

I didn't choose mental illness. . . Having a professional job is one of the best things that ever happened. It's given me the chance to be independent.

Eighth-grader Raises $425 for First Call       

Williston eighth-grader Nathan Bamberger coordinated an evening of music that raised $425 for First Call, the 24/7 youth and family crisis hotline that fields 15,000 calls every year. The May 29 event, which Nathan coordinated as part of a school community service project, featured the Essex Chidren's Choir and the Queen City Larks.

Nathan's concern for teen depression and suicide prompted him to select First Call as the beneficiary.

To make a donation to First Call, email Deborah Shenk or call 488-6912.
