A Disabled Dating Case Study: Mary & David
As the world's largest database of singles with disabilities, you'd think we'd be bored of success stories by now...but we're not! Every time we receive a call or an email from a member that has decided to leave us because they've found love online, we share the news with our entire company and take great pride in the fact that we're doing our job right.David and Mary met on DisabilityMatches and despite some initial uncertainties, they soon became good friends. Before long, that friendship become true love. Mary kindly agreed to speak to us over the phone about their path to happiness and the impact their own personal disabilities had on the relationship.
