Dedicated to:
In 2015, a spinal cord injury following surgery changed my life. All my life, my mother, Maria Gloria Suarez, had been my encourager and inspiration. During my recovery and rehabilitation, my mother was my rock. She left this life on September 17, 2021. On the one year anniversary of her passing, I am opening Bee Abled, a not-for-profit dedicated to those affected by disabilities. The name "Bee" was chosen to honor my mother, who was affectionately called "Grandma Bee". We seek to help the disability community find their abilities, to "bee abled".— Gloria Suarez, Founder & Executive Director of Bee Abled
