Two people, with one vision, are breaking down barriers, smashing stereotypes,&nbsp;shattering outdated&nbsp;obstacles, and providing access to essential resources,&nbsp;empowering&nbsp;people with different abilities&nbsp;to live their lives to the fullest, as independently, actively and freely as possible.

Brian P.

Sterk is an essential resource for families seeking solid and reliable&nbsp;guidance regarding the complexities of guardianships,&nbsp;physical and mental&nbsp;health care access,&nbsp;financial considerations, power-of-attorney issues, and determining who will care for an individual, if or when, the individual&nbsp;cannot properly care for themself. Gwendolyn J. Sterk has gathered a treasure trove of valuable&nbsp;information regarding outreach programs,&nbsp;community organizations, support groups, medical professionals, charitable resources, social networks,&nbsp;and counseling programs dedicated to&nbsp;helping people with different abilities live full, productive, and active lives. Gwendolyn J. Sterk and Sterk Family Law Group generously&nbsp;provide vital funding to many organizations through her monthly Non-Profit Heroes Grants and&nbsp;Podcast.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
