Read the full story. I Want to Live -- Vito's story of recovery from cancer
As many of you know, a cancer diagnosis is scary and stressful. But Mosaic staff members and Vito's family came together in a blanket of support that wrapped around him 24 hours a day. Now, less than two years later, I am thankful to report that Vito is cancer-free and a happy man. "It was a long road that we all went down," said his cousin, Carmen Puentez. "But we went down that road hand-in-hand. We cried together and we laughed together, and he was the strongest of all." Read the full story. Lending their voice to others
"I really want to do whatever I can as a family member to make sure that my brother's best interests are at hand and that some one is speaking on his behalf," Susan Downs said. She plays a key role with Illinois Mosaic Allied Voices (MAV) because she feels strongly about the rights and lives of people with intellectual disabilities. "I want to be as involved as I can in Bill's life and in helping not only him, but others as well," she said. "I care so much about my brother and his future and that he maintains the quality of life that he deserves." Read the full story here. |  |

Many people Mosaic supports like to serve others. You'll find them bringing meals to senior citizens who cannot get out of their home, giving their time at local food pantries, helping pick up trash in public areas, and working with animals in humane shelters. There are thousands of people with intellectual disabilities across the country on lists waiting to get into a home that fits their needs, waiting for the skills training to get a job, waiting for the chance to be included in all the good things that life has to offer. Those are the things that we make happen at Mosaic. Visit www.wouldyouhelp.org and view videos of people we serve talking about helping others. You'll also find out how you can help. | ||||||||||
