We at the Westchester Independent Living Center (WILC) are here continuing to connect our community and beyond with each other via our live, online group to share and listen to our experiences during the current Coronavirus Pandemic.
We laugh, cry, and share resources, creative ideas, cooking tips, etc. Time and time again we prove that when we share with and understand each other we reduce, and prevent further, the harm that can be caused by times like these.
