By Ina Steiner
Ann (eBay user kitty_bobo77) joined the Disabled Online Users Association (DOUA) as an eager new client just a few short months ago. After working closely with a DOUA mentor, she became a successful eBay seller and has now graduated into DOAUA's very first student Mentor. Ann, who became a quad after a childhood car accident, found a home on eBay and a way to repay a very generous community. Marjie Smith, President and Founder, states that there are currently 30 students in the program each with their own mentor. Go to the DOAU for more information about becoming a student or mentor.
