Mission Statement
SILC assists persons living with a disability, ensuring they are able to live their lives in the manner they choose, with the services they want, and supports they need! SILC strives to promote and encourage independence, individuality and growth to all we assist!
About This Cause
SILC is multi-faceted to ensure those living with a disability have equitable and quick access to services, information and assistance they want and need. We assist with Social Security filings and appeals, assist with Medicaid applications for the blind, disabled and aged, assist with nursing home transitions ( to community living ), assist law enforcement, hospitals, skilled facilities, schools and community members with finding services that are available to them so that they, in turn, can assist their clientele. SILC now has a program developed by Miss Judy Wroda ( one of our employees ) in which she is bringing equitable and accessible health care, dental care, vision care and other services and providers to rural areas to ensure those who lack transportation, finances or face other barriers to service, have access to services through her events. These events have grown each year and touch hundreds of lives in one day at each location. During these events, depending on the location, resources are given to help the community/families/children/elders with things they may not have funds for or have access to such as groceries, health and wellness services, personal hygiene items, clothing and other things that may be needed to ensure persons in that area have the resources they need to live a healthy, balanced, and fulfilled life. We offer support to schools, their students, educators, and families to ensure access to programs that will assist them in their daily lives and within the educational arena. We assist with trafficking cases, elder and child abuse cases, hunger, homelessness, domestic violence and other social issues, to facilitate positive growth and understanding of each other and issues we are all facing. We are a positive reinforcement agency, whose mission is to uplift and assist those around us.
