Giving gifts at Christmas is a tradition based of course, on the greatest gift ever given to mankind-the gift of a Son by his Father to a world in desperate need. The celebration of Christmas is a reminder to all of us how blessed we are to have been given such a precious gift of hope. Here at Mays Mission we are blessed over and over by the gifts we receive from our faithful and loyal supporters. Gifts we pass on to those we serve each day. One of those most precious gifts is hope. Through our jobs and job-training… Read More

Did you know that Mays Mission for the Handicapped provides scholarship opportunities to people with disabilities? It is one of the most successful and rewarding programs we offer. One may assume that all college costs at one particular institution are the same. Yet, for the individual with a disability those costs may skyrocket because of “special needs.” A modified dorm room, tutoring, an assistive learning device or attendant care are just a smidgen of the myriad of extra expenses that may arise. It is difficult enough to secure college funding without the addition of common everyday needs of people with… Read More

Here at Mays Mission we are always so proud of the eager young students you help through your support of our scholarship program. Kinshuk Tella is one of those extraordinary kids. And thanks to YOU, this rising star is pursuing his dream of higher education — and a future in which he makes incredible contributions to society — despite his disability. A student at Miami University, Kinshuk is working toward a double degree in Environmental Science and Energy. “I wish to be something much bigger than myself — that being the work and science toward preserving the natural world,” he… Read More

Mays Mission is celebrating our fiftieth year of serving the disabled in 2022. Our goals at Mays Mission for the Handicapped were set over 50 years ago by our founder, Ewing W. Mays. Ewing W. Mays lost both of his legs, as a young man, in WW II. He spent many months in the hospital. After numerous surgeries and much rehabilitation, he learned how to walk on artificial limbs. He realized that during his time in the hospital not one person with a similar disability had visited him. He decided that he would be the person who would visit those… Read More

Followers of this website may have noticed some changes recently. We are trying to reach out to more people with the addition of a blog. Our founder, Ewing W. Mays, started Mays Mission as a way to reach out and raise awareness for people with disabilities, and it’s what we have been doing for over 48 years now. And hopefully as we grow stronger in the online community this will open up new employment opportunities for interested people with disabilities seeking work. Mays Mission for the Handicapped was conceived to offer on the job training and employment to persons with… Read More

Are you disabled and unemployed? Do you have the feeling that if you tell a potential employer about your disability you won’t be hired? Great news! Since the inception of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, there has been a lot of progress for the disabled. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”), an employer may ask disability-related questions and require medical examinations on an applicant only after the applicant has been given a conditional job offer. However, employers can ask if you can meet the job requirements before being hired. Another benefit that… Read More

Of all the programs offered by Mays Mission for the Handicapped, scholarships to people with disabilities is one of the “crown jewels.” Not many people would even notice that it probably takes more funding to educate someone with a disability than their able-bodied peers. Specialized equipment, dorm room or apartment modification, tutoring and attendant care are just a few of the excess costs that have faced some of our previous and current scholarship recipients. The easy road in life for these people might be contentment with a high school education and mediocre employment. Yet, with hard-nosed determination and true… Read More
