Hello!  

 

My name is Rachael Kahle.  I am a Mentor Recruiter for the Ohio Shared
Living Program through REM Ohio.  I was inquiring if the Ohio Shared Living
program could be featured in a newsletter or e-mail list with the Ohio
Association of the Blind.  We are seeking compassionate Mentors for our
program.  Our program carefully matches a full-time, in-home caregiver,
which we call a Mentor, with an adult with developmental disabilities.  The
goal is that the individual and the mentor form a relationship, and that the
individual becomes a meaningful part of their family and community.  It is
also a source of income for our Mentors, all while making a significant
difference in an individual's life. This is also an important opportunity
for family members that care for their loved ones in their home, as a way of
receiving supplemental income to support their needs.

 

If this program would interest any of your members, I would love to discuss
the opportunities more.  As a Mentor Recruiter, I am willing to do anything
from a formal presentation to small groups, a bulletin board post, or a
coffee social.

Please feel free to call me at (614) 367-1370 ext. 5601 if you have any
questions.  You can also e-mail me at your convenience.  

 

Thank you so much for your time!

 

Sincerely,

 

Rachael Kahle

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back
