Little message from of Director

Hi, my name is Rochelle Downs, and I wanted to share a little bit about why I started Limitless. I myself do not have a disability, however I was diagnosed with renal failure when I was eight years old. My entire life people have imposed their own limitations and thoughts on what my life may look like for me. I have not only fought against my illness all my life, but I have fought against the thoughts and feelings of those around me, as to what they thought I could be achieve or have in my life.

I have an amazing life; I do a job that I’m super passionate about and I have an amazing family with lots of adventures had along the way. I feel truly blessed to have always listened to my inner voice and not to listen to the voice of others. I believe in myself, and I believe that I can achieve anything. I have dedicated my working career for the last ten years to the disability industry, I have worked in various roles throughout that time. Giving me a wealth of experience.

This is my absolute passion, when you enjoy what you do, you’ll never work a day in the life. I started Limitless Community Services, because I believe that there isn’t a model out there where one size fits all. I’m passionate about real life stories and supporting people to achieve their hopes and dreams.

If Limitless Community Services can help facilitate that for just one person, that would make me incredibly proud. I really look forward to hearing everybody’s stories and making a meaningful impact together. When you believe in yourself life, truly becomes limitless with possibilities Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and I can’t wait to hear yours soon.
