Freya David started working at McDonald's in Needham, Massachusetts in 1984. She got a job thanks to a special program of local authorities, according to which jobs were allocated for people with intellectual disabilities. Recently, Freya's 90-year-old mother began to complain about memory problems and asked her daughter to retire as soon as possible. But colleagues could not let Freya go just like that and arranged a party for a hundred people to honorably hold it.

Colleagues estimated that in 32 years of working at McDonald's, Freya managed to cook 453 tons of French fries. In 1984, when a woman just got a job, two people who started interning at the same time with her did not even complete a 6-month preparatory course. Freya quickly joined the main team.

"Freya is one of the first people we got a job. People with disabilities can be in society, they can learn new things for themselves and benefit others," says Anna—Marie Bayva, director of the Charles River Center for the Support of People with Intellectual Disabilities.
