Help Us Grow Liberty Ridge

Liberty Ridge is a concept of building independence for persons with brain differences and body differences. I, your guide dog, Sir Limey, will help you create new effective living spaces. Some ideas will be organization, some will be schooling and jobs, others will be ways to have fun. But most important they will be written because I listen to you and what you need. Hopefully my writing will be read by those who have the power to change things.

Especially after the brutal beating in Dakota County this week, I like to think of Liberty Ridge as a safe place for adults who are too often vulnerable, and a place that will welcome the community in rather than isolate it's residents.

To me, Liberty Ridge combines the best of independence and interdependence; a community designed to offer liberty along with the mutual support that keeps us from falling off the edge. With Sir Limey to bark a warning and offer a warm hug (or a boisterous dance about the room), Liberty Ridge will be a happy place where success is easier than failure and the "experts" learn from rather than teaching or controlling.
