🍂 30 Days of Gratitude | Day 1🍂

Today, we are grateful for the incredible people we have the privilege of supporting.💜

At Independent Horizons, we believe that every person has unique gifts, dreams, talents, and something meaningful to contribute to the world around them.

Each day, the people we support remind us of the importance of kindness, perseverance, friendship, and celebrating life's victories—both big and small.

We are grateful for the trust placed in us, the relationships we build, the laughter we share, and the opportunity to walk alongside some truly remarkable people as they pursue their goals and live life on their own terms.

While our mission is to support others in living fulfilling, independent lives, the truth is that the people we support enrich our lives in countless ways.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. It is a privilege we never take for granted. 💜

Throughout November, we'll be sharing something we're grateful for each day. We hope you'll join us in celebrating the people, moments, and blessings that make our community so special.

🧥🍂 **Colder Temps are soon upon us and We're Still Collecting Coats!** 🍂🧥

As part of our Serving Lincoln Together initiative, Independent Horizons is extending our coat drive through the entire month of November!

The temperatures are dropping, and we know there are individuals and families in our community who could use a little extra warmth this season. ❤️

Our coat collection is off to a slow start, and we need YOUR help to fill our racks with warmth and kindness!

We're excited to share that we're expanding our donation drop-off locations! You can donate new or gently used coats at:

📍 **Tractor Supply Company**
📍 **Independent Horizons Administrative Office**
1201 O Street, Lincoln, NE

If you call or message us, we can always make arrangements to come pick coat donations up!!

🧥 Have a coat hanging in your closet that you no longer wear? That coat could make a world of difference to someone in need this winter.

Every donation, big or small, is an opportunity to remind someone in our community that they matter.

Let's come together, Lincoln, and turn empty coat racks into warm hearts!

❤️ One coat. One act of kindness. One warmer winter.

Can't donate? You can still make a difference by sharing this post and helping us spread the word!

Together, we can make Lincoln a little warmer this winter!

Just a reminder...

Our Serving Lincoln Together initiative is moving into its next chapter, and this time, we're helping our neighbors stay warm!

At Independent Horizons, we believe that everyone has something valuable to contribute to their community. Through Serving Lincoln Together, the individuals we support are discovering the joy of giving back, building connections, and making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

❤️ Our Next Mission: A Community Coat Drive!

As temperatures begin to drop, we're collecting new and gently used coats to help individuals and families in the Lincoln community who may otherwise go without.

We're inviting our friends, families, local businesses, and neighbors to join us! Have a coat hanging in your closet that you no longer wear? We'd love to help it find a new home.

🧥 What we're collecting: New and gently used coats in all sizes.

💙 How you can help: Donate a coat, spread the word, or encourage your workplace to get involved!

Coats can be brought to our offices at 1201 O Street Suite 200, Lincoln, NE. 68508.

You may also contact us at (531) 500-4384 and we will be happy to set up a time to come pick up donations you may have.

Thank you for helping us

Thank you to Independent Horizons for stopping by LSO and bringing treat bags to our deputies!

Through Serving Lincoln Together, participants are working to give back to the community, including the first responders who serve Lancaster County every day. We appreciate you thinking of our deputies and taking the time to make their day a little better.

When the Budget Gets Smaller, the Needs Don't Disappear.

Imagine being told tomorrow that your wages are being reduced.

Your bills don't decrease. Groceries don't get cheaper. Your responsibilities don't disappear.

So you make cuts. You work more hours. You experience more stress. And eventually, those financial pressures begin affecting your family and your quality of life.

Now imagine that same financial pressure being placed on an organization responsible for supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

When funding decreases while costs continue to rise, providers may face difficult decisions about staffing, wages, and the services they can offer.

But here's what makes this different.

The people receiving these services did not choose their disabilities. They have done nothing to deserve the challenges they may face.

They deserve safety, dignity, independence, and the opportunity to live meaningful lives.

For many, that requires trained, dependable employees who understand their individual needs.

When funding pressures lead to staffing shortages or service disruptions, it's not just an agency that is affected.

It's someone's home. Someone's health. Someone's independence. Someone's safety.

Nebraska has established protections for individuals with developmental disabilities because their health, safety, and rights matter. Those protections require qualified employees, effective oversight, and adequate resources.

I understand the need for responsible government spending. But we must also consider the human and economic consequences of reducing essential services.

The needs don't disappear when the funding does.

And neither does our responsibility to the people who depend on those services.

We're excited to kick off Part 2 of our Serve Lincoln Together Project with a Fall Coat Drive!

- New and gently used coats for all ages
- Warm jackets and winter outerwear
- Hats, gloves, and scarves

Let's come together, Lincoln, and make sure everyone has a little warmth this season!

🍁 Because sweater weather is better when we share the warmth!
