Michelle's Fundraiser for Mattingly Edge

As you may know, I’ve been involved with Mattingly Edge for [number] years. I first connected with this incredible organization through [personal story or connection—e.g., "receiving support," "a family member who received support," or "volunteering"]. [Explain why the work Mattingly Edge does is important to you or use the following pre-fab sentence.] The work they do to empower people with disabilities to lead fulfilling, integrated lives truly inspires me.

Mattingly Edge is proud to be the only disability support organization in Kentucky that offers exclusively customized, one-to-one supports for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Unlike traditional programs that group or segregate people, Mattingly Edge believes every person deserves the dignity of choice and the opportunity to thrive in ordinary places—at work, at home, and in the community.

Through individualized partnerships, Mattingly Edge supports people in building the lives they want: securing meaningful employment, creating authentic relationships, and living in homes of their own. It’s not just about services—it’s about cultivating autonomy, inclusion, and belonging.

That’s why I’m raising funds for Mattingly Edge and why I’d love your support! Your donation directly impacts people with disabilities, helping them pursue their goals and live with purpose in our community. Every dollar counts.

Please consider supporting my fundraiser by donating or sharing this page. Together, we can strengthen this mission and create a more inclusive Kentucky! 💙
