welcome
Hi, I'm
Lori.
I'm 46 years old and I live in Minnesota. I've lived in my own apartment for 13 years, and one of my favorite things to do is have friends over and host social groups.
I would describe myself as fun, organized, and friendly.
I like to stay busy, too. I've worked as a scanner for 19 years, scanning the mail that comes in. This year, I received a plaque recognizing my time there. I also work part time stocking and cleaning at a gas station.
And when I'm not working? You might find me singing. I'm in a choir and I love performing at concerts!
“I already achieved
my dreams!”
I'm living on my own — and I love it.
A few of my favorite things.
Because there's a lot more to Lori than a diagnosis.
Music
I love to sing! I'm in a choir and love performing at concerts.
Disney
I love Orlando. I'm a Disney girl all the way!
Good Food
I make my own meals, like eating healthy, and love Mexican and Italian food.
TV
One of my favorites? The Big Bang Theory.
Wrestling
I'm a wrestling fan — and a music fan, too!
Fitness
I work out and exercise to stay healthy and build my muscles.
Strength +
Perseverance.
I've faced challenges and have worked through physical therapy to help strengthen my legs. I also exercise and work out to stay healthy and build my muscles.
“I've had to overcome challenges.”
What I want
you to know.
I want my feelings to be heard.
I want to be respected.
I want to fit in and be heard.
