Charity Bauer's Unstoppable Journey

OOD Works

Charity Bauer exemplifies how barriers can be shattered and goals can be reached, even when faced with challenges.

Growing up in Oklahoma, Charity had a strong role model in her grandfather, who was also blind. He worked as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor, serving transition-age students. When Charity moved to Ohio, she remembered that every state has a vocational rehabilitation agency that can help individuals with disabilities get and keep a job. Following a Google search, Charity found Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) and got started with services.
With support from Patty Koehnlein, OOD Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor, and Jennifer Renaldy, OOD Job Developer, Charity navigated her career path, from her initial struggles to eventual success as a Senior Resolution Coordinator with Walmart.
