UNITED SPINAL’S RESOURCE CENTER

TACKLES TOUGH QUESTIONS

Shannon Cobb, a sociology student at McHenry County College in Illinois, says she is one of the Resource Center’s most frequent users.

“I’ve sent so many random questions to the Resource Center — it’s hard to list all the things they’ve helped me with.

Overall, it’s nice to know someone has your back,” says Cobb, a paraplegic who uses a manual wheelchair — often pulled by Princess, her Rottweiler-Shepherd service dog.

“I was having a lot of problems figuring out how to get things done when I was first injured [in 2018],” she says.

“The Resource Center has helped with finding accessible housing, adapting a home to be more wheelchair-friendly and helping me find a wheelchair and getting grants.”
