Some of the most meaningful moments in life aren’t big or complicated. They’re tucked into the everyday. A new milestone, a quiet change, or a simple moment of shared understanding. 

Stories don’t have to be long to matter. They don’t need to be polished or perfect. What makes them powerful is that they’re real and we’d love to hear one of yours. 

That’s why we’re inviting you to share a One-Sentence Story, a single sentence about a meaningful moment connected to Aspire. 

It could be about your own journey, a loved one’s experience, or something you’ve witnessed. What matters most is that it’s honest and comes from you, a member of the Aspire community. 

Maybe it’s the moment your loved one cooked a meal on their own. 
Maybe it’s finding a job that feels rewarding. 
Maybe it’s knowing you have support you can count on. 

These types of moments happen every day in the Aspire community—small wins, new skills, and steps toward greater independence. By sharing just one sentence, you’ll help show the world how people with disabilities thrive when the right supports and resources are in place, and how each person’s journey is unique.  

When you submit your story, it may be featured on our social media, website, or emails to spotlight your voice and celebrate our community. If chosen, a member of our team will reach out to talk about it with you first. Here are some prompts to spark ideas: 

• What’s one way Aspire has made a difference in your life (or a loved one’s life)? 
• What supports help you or your loved one in daily life, and what do they make possible? 
• Can you share a moment you felt included, independent, or supported? 
• What’s a small moment that reminded you things were moving forward? 

Submit your One-Sentence Story below and help us celebrate the everyday moments that nurture growth, empower people, and build greater understanding of the Aspire community.
