About Our Organization

SIMPLE. POSITIVE. HEALTHY. SUPPORTIVE.

Simplicity is the Secret Sauce to our Business!

Simple Life, Inc. is a non-profit organization created to assist individuals with disabilities in improving and building their life skills. We want to help individuals become as independent and productive as possible.

At Simple Life, our goal is to simplify life down to its most basic form, much like following a recipe. From managing symptoms and developing coping skills to everyday tasks like making a grilled cheese sandwich or having a productive conversation with a friend, we focus on breaking life into manageable pieces. Our supportive team works closely with members, who in turn support each other, to develop the skills necessary for independent and productive living.

One of our success stories features a member we'll call Isobel. She receives supportive services through our Day Habilitation program and at home. Initially, Isobel was hesitant to join our program, believing her explosive outbursts were uncontrollable and destined to make her a permanent social outcast. “That's just the way I am. I can't change. I don't know how to,” she shared. This belief led to her accepting a life without social interaction and unhealthy habits. However, our Simple Life team collectively decided, “Challenge accepted!” and we committed to helping her. Was it easy? No. Was it worth it? Absolutely! Step by step, we taught Isobel our recipe for success, including the special ingredient – simplicity.

Today, Isobel frequently volunteers with other Simple Life members at local non-profit organizations, practicing basic job skills while giving back to the community. She aspires to gain employment and become more self-sufficient. Does she have setbacks? Of course, just like we all do. But now, Isobel has the motivation, determination, and skills to pick herself up and keep moving forward. Our team is honored to be part of Isobel's journey, and her continual progress is nothing short of miraculous.

We are proud to participate in the Siouxland Big Give and thank you for taking the time to read our story. We hope you will consider donating to our cause. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps our members have memorable experiences.

All the best,

Sheri Porter, Administrator & CEO



Current Project: A DayCation!



Have you heard of a Vacation or a Staycation? At Simple Life, we offer our members something unique: a DayCation. This one-day experience takes our members on a journey to explore a new part of the country, all within a single day. We select a destination, charter a bus, and provide an unforgettable escape from Sioux City. This year marks our 3rd Annual DayCation, and we’re excited to be heading to the picturesque Galena, IL area. We also plan to stop at Antique Archeology in LeClaire, IA, adding another layer of adventure to our trip.
