For Ryan Bellows, having a job carries special meaning. I got my own new car. I m even thinking that now because I m making more money, I m going to be able to get a new, new car, he said. I bought my own vehicles, I ve had to pay my own bills. Those kinds of things never went away just beacuse I was disabled.
Bellows is one of 5,000 or so New Yorkers who have a disability who has gotten a job through the non-profit New York State Industries for Disabled, or NYSID, an organization that works with the public and private sector to create jobs.
