Do you have skills to offer, but at the same time are not quite able to cope with the requirements of independent daily living and the entire spectrum of what is required for independent living?
Are you wanting for a 'shared living' experience with others; where you are able to offer your strengths and abilities with others others who are willing to return the gesture with their own particular strengths?
I am interested in meeting with people who would like (in theory at first) to form an independent living co-op with it's heart and soul anchored in mutual respect, understanding and long view determination.
This co-op can use the skills that you possess; as well as the skills that I possess. This co-op will share each others efforts in a non-condescending manner and we will celebrate our collective strengths for the benefit of our individual good, thus building stronger members of all us.
Please feel free to respond to this appeal for freedom. This could be an interesting conversation that builds into a healthy lifestyle for us who feel almost, but not quite 'independent', and almost, but not quite 'socially isolated'.
I am eager to hear from you and believe that there are enough of us who would embrace a co-op that shared expenses, chores, expertise in an atmosphere of equality. In return, we would all be offered an opportunity to form a community rich in mutual respect, friendly company and even conviviality and celebration.
That's all!
I hope to hear from you

Hi T.
I am concerned with the frustrations, inconveniences and isolation that can accompany various (dis)abilites. An abilities co-op made up of members who themselves have a variety of strengths and shortcomings might just find a new (and beforehand unthought of) level of freedom.
Principally this/these group(s) would act as a cohesive team(s) consisting of members who would each share their particular skill set with other members of the ability co-op. The core principle of shared abilities might replace the sometimes atmosphere of helplessness that is deleterious to personal well being and motivation.
Heavens, but I hope this helps, T. :-)
