“NubAbility is wonderful because we are surrounded by like minded individuals who are helping youth to overcome adversity that I had already overcome. It’s such a blessing to be able to learn so much from the kids in terms of determination, overall happiness and learn from them as much as they learn from me.” - Kevin Ewing
