Bob Habas Fund For Independence

Robert “Bob” Habas never gave up!

Bob was paralyzed for 35 years after an accidental injury. He was forced to live in a nursing home because there were no other options.

But he didn’t give up.

Bob fought the system and eventually transitioned to living independently in his own home. As the result of his lived experience, he was a founding member of a local group called Storytellers, which advocated for people who do not want to live in nursing homes.

He became a coordinator for LIFE, Inc. Until he passed away in September 2014, he worked to help other people with disabilities live the way they wanted to live. Bob was instrumental in providing first-hand knowledge on sidewalks, curb cuts, and bus transportation for wheelchair users. Today, LIFE, Inc. continues Bob’s work through our Nursing Home Transition program.

In recognition of his courage and determination, Bob’s family, and LIFE’s Board of Directors and Staff, along with Bob’s family, have started a campaign called the “Bob Habas Fund for Independence” to honor his legacy by helping LIFE’s consumers.

You can help make that happen by clicking on the Donate button below. The process is secure, quick and easy via PayPal.

Please follow the special instructions below to specify “Bob Habas Fund for Independence” for your donation.

Through your generosity, LIFE will continue to carry on Bob’s legacy of tireless devotion to others.

Thank you. – LIFE Board of Directors and Staff
