Shelley Jaspering
Shelley has lived in Ames, IA since she was three years old. She has enjoyed sewing since the day she learned in Ames Middle School. Currently, Shelley is selling her products at the Ames Main Street Farmers Market. In 2015, Shelley became a quadriplegic. She came to know firsthand how challenging it can be for a person with a disability to find needed resources. When Shelley heard about Able Up Iowa, she was very glad to know that their services are available all throughout Iowa.
“I personally know that Able Up Iowa helps people gain more independence and that is important for everyone!” - Shelley Jaspering
