The Door to Freedom - Angel's Story

Angel smiling in front of his door

Freedom looks different for everyone.

For Angel Torres, it came in the form of a front door he could open independently. Years ago, Angel received an automatic door opener—free of charge—through CIL’s AccesSolutions program. When that unit began to fail, he reached out again, hoping for help.

“That door gives me the freedom to go in and out of my house whenever I like. I don't need to wait for anyone - I'm free”
- Angel Torres

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, CIL was able to step in quickly to replace the equipment—restoring not just a door opener, but Angel’s freedom to come and go safely, on his own terms.

In the video below, Angel shares how a small piece of assistive technology had a profound impact on his daily life, granting him the independence, mobility, and dignity everyone deserves.
