"He saved enough to buy his own car, all while keeping the benefits he depends on."
Meet Bridget and Shaun Hawk, two of our ABLE United ambassadors. Bridget is also the Special Olympics Florida director for Leon County, and as Shaun's mom, she's seen firsthand what the right resources can do for a family.
"Without an ABLE account, he would have been limited by the asset restrictions that come with receiving disability benefits and would not have been able to save beyond the typical $2,000 limit," Bridget shares. Because Shaun could safely save in his ABLE United account, he worked toward a goal that felt out of reach and bought a car, gaining a new level of independence.
The account has also made it possible to plan ahead for future expenses, and it's given family and friends a way to contribute toward Shaun's goals too.
Bridget's advice? Don't wait. Whether you're saving for transportation, education, housing, or whatever comes next, ABLE United offers the flexibility and peace of mind every family deserves.
