Matthew F. / Birmingham, Alabama
Matthew was born with Down syndrome, a condition that could have hindered him from being able to live independently. He did not, however, let his disability dictate his life.
Alabama’s Medicaid program provides him home- and community-based assistance and the freedom to hire his own care team.
With the support of Medicaid, his personal coach, and his family, Matthew lives a full life, enjoying his favorite activities—like attending art and dance classes—and maintaining his job at a family restaurant.
“I want to help other people who have disabilities,” he says. “I want people to be positive with the things they can do in life."
