Inspiring Others with Disabilities

HAMBURG, N.Y. — Christopher Polisoto is starting 2015 in his own home. His purchase of a three-bedroom, 1½-bath house in Hamburg was completed in October, just in time for him to mow the lawn once before everything was buried under more than 6 feet of snow.

He could not be happier.

“When the storm came, I figured that was a good time to reach out and know my neighbors better,” he said.

And they had a chance to get to know him: He’s 32 and works two part-time jobs while working toward his bachelor’s degree at SUNY Buffalo State.
