On this episode of Our American Stories, when Donna’s daughter Cassie was diagnosed with chronic paranoid schizophrenia, everyday life became harder to manage. Donna realized their family needed a different way to live, something that gave Cassie steady structure and gave others with special needs a place to belong. So they opened a resale shop and built it around employment opportunities for special needs adults. What began as a way to help Cassie soon became a workplace where people who often struggle to find special needs employment could feel supported, capable, and needed.
