At The Meeting Place, every day is a reminder of why we do what we do: because of the amazing people we support, and the families who share this journey with us.

These messages hung around The Meeting Place...

“Kindness Matters”
“You Belong”
“You Matter”
“This is How I Roll”
"We're All in for Inclusion"
..are more than just words on a wall. They reflect the heart of LIFE Inc.—a community built on care, inclusion, and respect for every person’s unique story.

We’re proud to provide a place where laughter fills the room, friendships grow, and everyone feels seen, valued, and celebrated. Today may be but we strive to be kind every day at The Meeting Place!

Just like flowers, no two people are exactly the same, and that’s what makes the world so beautiful! 🌼 Diversity isn't an exception, it’s nature’s rule. Every variation—every color, every petal, every person—belongs. Today we celebrate the uniqueness of each participant we support. Thank your for making LIFE more beautiful! 🌸🌼🌹🌺🌷🥀💐

CONGRATS ELLIE! Skills for Rhode Island's Future featured our own Ellie Ingraham for the great work she does as a Housekeeping Lobby Attendant for Hotel Viking in Newport! Everyone at LIFE Inc. has seen how hard and dedicated a worker Ellie is, so this spotlight comes as no surprise.

🌟 NDEAM Spotlight: Ellie I. 🌟

As part of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Skills for Rhode Island's Future is proud to highlight Ellie I., a workABILITY candidate whose story reflects this year’s NDEAM theme—“Celebrating Value and Talent.”

Ellie joined the housekeeping department at Hotel Viking in Newport as a lobby attendant and quickly became a valued member of the team, known for her reliability, attention to detail, and upbeat attitude. She plans to return to her role when Hotel Viking reopens next spring following renovations.

Outside of work, Ellie volunteers with several community organizations, enjoys yoga and swimming, and proudly participates in the Special Olympics.

At workABILITY and Skills for Rhode Island’s Future, we’re honored to support Rhode Islanders whose dedication and talent strengthen workplaces and communities—during NDEAM and every month of the year.

This month, we celebrate the beauty of diversity and the incredible individuals with Down syndrome who inspire those around them with their joy, abilities, and uniqueness. 💙💛

Facts about Down syndrome:

🔹 Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21

🔹 It is the most common chromosomal condition, occurring in about 1 in every 700 babies born in the U.S.

🔹 People with Down syndrome have a wide range of abilities, talents, and personalities—just like everyone else

🔹 Early support and inclusion in education, healthcare, and community make a big difference in helping people thrive

🔹 Advocacy matters! Promoting awareness, acceptance, and inclusion helps create a world where everyone belongs

💛 Let’s use this month to learn, listen, and lift up voices from the Down syndrome community. Every person deserves to be celebrated for exactly who they are. 💙

Learn more about Down syndrome by visiting the Down Syndrome Society of Rhode Island (DSSRI) at www.dssri.org

Thank you to Community Provider Network of Rhode Island and our state lawmakers that made this important legislation possible!

Safety for people with disabilities.🟣

Governor Dan McKee ceremonially signed the Purple Alert into law. A new system to find missing people with disabilities.

With this new law, Rhode Island is the 6th state to have a Purple Alert.

We are incredibly grateful to lawmakers and all of YOU who advocated for this critical legislation. Our voices together made this victory possible! 💜💚
