Words about Our Heroes
"She talks to the individuals as adults and gently gets them to where they need to be."
"I wish you could see my Hero give my son wheelies in his wheelchair, both of them squealing, my son's arms flailing about and me giving thanks to God."
"She respects, encourages and guides with a bright smile that lights up the room!"
"She is one of the most selfless and caring people I know. She devotes her life to taking care of three young ladies with disabilities. I don't know what I would do without her."
"She helped to give our daughter a 40th birthday party she will never forget. They have also attended professional basketball games, Special Olympics competitions, concerts, and birthday parties together with friends."
