Hi, my name is Terry Roberts. I have a family history of PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease). My father took a medical retirement at age 30 and at age 44 he passed away. When I was 25, I was diagnosed with PKD myself. When I was 52 I started dialysis. My wife Shannon was able to find a live donor for me and I received a kidney transplant in 2018.
I have a work history including working with youth in inner city projects, community mental health clinics, group home directing, as well as being a rancher, truck driver, retail and restaurant manager, and landscaper. Thinking outside the box and serving others has been my approach to much of life.
No matter what your disAbility is, Lifeworx will seek creative solutions to find you the right job.

Hi, my name is Annette Blevins. This is my first year as the Business Manager for Lifeworx. I was excited for the opportunity to work at Lifeworx because I have Multiple Sclerosis and have continued working as my disease has progressed. This past year, I have had to start using a wheelchair and have had my eyes opened to the vast array of challenges the disabled community are faced with. I would like to eventually work with employers to understand what their responsibilities are for handi- capable workers, as well as with the employees to understand what they can legally ask for.

Hi! My name is Kaley Williams and I am the Operations Manager at Lifeworx, as well as a Service Provider for Ticket To Work. I have always had a passion for helping others and Lifeworx has provided me with the opportunity to do that on a different level than I have ever been able to before. I have had chronic health issues for most of my life, so being in the field of helping individuals with disabilities is right up my alley.

My name is James and I am from Wichita, Kansas. I am the newest employee at Lifeworx. My background is in Paleontology, but while I was in graduate school I suffered a series of health problems that culminated in kidney failure. After doing home dialysis and receiving a transplant, Lifeworx and the Ticket to Work program helped me to return work (first as a substitute teacher) and even travel to the Philippines to marry my lovely wife, Agnes. Now, I am excited to work with all of you, and help you achieve your goals in the same way I have been able to achieve mine.
“I understand many of the physical as well as emotional challenges faced by persons with a disability as well as the struggles experienced by their family and friends. Work provides more than just a paycheck, the restorative value of a regular routine, the interactions with others, the sense of accomplishment, all these things help us in our recovery.”
