Mom opens cafe to employ people with disabilities

[@julietchu7008]

Yes! We need more places like this to give people with disabilities more employment opportunities!

[@Binkyblaster]

Yes we need more places for weetarts to go and feel good about yourselves LMFAO

[@giuliab8484]

@@Binkyblaster They actually work there, so their money is definitely well-earned. Are you pressed because you don't have anything positive to offer to society?

[@ThomasSawyers]

Its pretty standard in Europe, they've been doing it for at least a decade

[@blugreen123]

That's not just sitting in a factory doing piece work their whole lives.

Intellectual disabilities are often barriers for this but she overcame them with her son

[@ReiverBlue1971]

He might not HAVE a learning disability (unless I missed that being said). Autists vary significantly from person to person. I'm autistic and have a degree and I'm hoping to continue my Masters on autism over the next year or so. I only mention it because most people have a media twisted version of what autists should be like

[@bngr_bngr]

I work at an elementary school. Our district has no plan to help these children’s when they become adults. The fortunate will have families that can help them. The others might even up on the streets.

[@mattmax11]

Well what are they to do? They are a school board.

[@bngr_bngr]

@@mattmax11 they should have programs that prepares them to transition to adulthood.

[@sweethistortea]

My high school had a program where the special needs students could stay until the age of twenty-one, and they got life skill classes.

[@izabelreyes3915]

Reminds me of the Japanese Restaurant that employs elders with dementia. So sweet

[@justmejenny7986]

Might have to take a little road trip from New York. My adult daughter is Autistic and we would love to go somewhere that is welcoming. Great story, great mom.

[@Harley_Vampy_Sis_Quinn]

As a person myself whose disabled, thank you not only for being a mom, but for what you are doing. You are showing people that even if we are disabled, we are still people. ❤️❤️❤️

[@voulathomacos-lagonas8445]

A SUPER MUM.. the world would be a far better place with mum like her BRAVO ♥️

[@sarahmervine1374]

We need more places like these. What she also needs to do is set up a bakery were they can learn how to bake and decorate cakes

[@WhitExNoodlE]

This is wonderful and I wish there were more places like this. However, these places should not have to exist. People with disabilities and their care givers should not feel stressed out to eat out. I also LOVE seeing them work and they should be accepted everywhere that is safe for them.

[@loganfoss5219]

There's has to be more places for them to be who they are as people ❤❤

[@michellehackett9335]

Alot more people need to do this because people with disabilities have just as much opportunities if not more to exceed in life

[@craftmom5302]

Parents like her make me fight like hell to keep going for my kid thank you for inspiring me

[@stacyscooby8488]

Beautiful This is heartwarming . as a person who lives with a disability. because we need a safe place to go . For us we are handworkers. it's a heartwarming that they have a safe place to go to . and people are kind to help out thank you so Much for sharing your story.

[@betty3326]

Nick's mum has demonstrated so much love to everyone with a disability. Working in this cafe has improved the self confidence of each employee

[@bbygirlmua]

So beautiful!!! My son has autism and places/ people like this give me lots of hope! God bless

[@cya2163]

I am at a loss for words...but I would truly LOVE to commend this mom and her partners for doing this and showing the world how wonderfully clever ALL peoples with disabilities are! From the bottom of my heart - I wish you all a lifetime of success...God bless...

[@stephenmccagg]

Ive worked with adults with varying degrees of physical and developmental disabilities for years, this is very cool... well done to all involved!

[@abcdefghijkl5408]

The mom's philly accent is strong...reminds me of my aunts, love it!

[@LindaEngman-qz4bm]

There needs to be more people in this world like you. Definitely would be a better place to live.

[@crazyfairy207]

As someone with Autism, I am grateful for people like her who give people like me a chance to show that we are capable just like everyone else. Where I work we have regular customers who have disabilities and additional needs. It peeves me off when I overhear the other customers making rude and mean comments about them. 😡 You don't bad mouth them in front of me coz I will get angry. (I don't say anything because I don't want to cause a problem/scene) I was bullied and picked on at school, so I know how feels to have rude and mean things said to me. (Sorry for me ranting, I just needed to get that off my chest)

[@thecomplicatedsimpleton9509]

Amazing story that gives me hope for mankind. These days, we need all the hope we can get in our increasingly insane world.

[@Nikkistar218]

Yes more places like this❤ my brother is also working in mcdonalds, im just happy people accepted him ❤

[@raea3588]

This is phenomenal but it shouldn't be so rare! This is about community saying that there is no reason why someone who has a disability shouldn't have an opportunity of employment or doesn't have "something to give". Along the way we find that there's a place where everyone belongs and none of us need to slip through the cracks ❤

[@melissalove2463]

This is so amazing there should be more places like this all over the world ! 💞👍🏻❤️👍🏻💞

[@lindamccloud3434]

God bless 🙏That mom for doing that and helping people with disabilities 👍. I have a Grown Son with Autism and Adhd and mmr. As a single mother.

[@elainejsta]

A fantastic human being with a fantastic idea. ❤ as someone with autiam myself, it's so hard to just live without work or at least a routine that work can give you. I was without work for a year and it made me really depressed. My ship finally pulled in when I got a job in march. I still am learning and I still make mistakes but I am much, much happier. I feel better and I feel proud to be responsuble enough that my coworkers have faith in me to do a good job because they know i can do it. Thank you Maureen and everyone who helped for making this happen for all these wonderful people 🙏

[@clairwilliams1782]

Bless you my lady. People look at you so much when you are different. Your mind has been eased, you found a solution.

[@cheyenne9646]

[@beckyscreativespooniebeehive]

I wish there were more places like this. My ex was discriminated against by potential employers because of his disabilities (yes its illegal, but they have their sneaky ways around it) And im now disabled, and trying to find a pt job (because getting Disability has been a 3 yr nightmare. Yes, i have a lawyer), and im scared because of the discrimination my ex experienced.
