The New York Mobility Club is a local community group that supports people living with physical disabilities. A free community service, it is friendly place where people with disabilities and their loved ones can go to talk and learn about all sorts of resources to help them live more independent and fulfilling lives. The atmosphere is uplifting and positive. Participants share their stories, challenges and successes.
