To celebrate National Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, we’re sharing stories that illustrate how people served by Mosaic make choices to live their life their way. This is Holden’s. #MyDayMyWay
This issue of Promise magazine focuses on how and why Mosaic’s mission works for those we serve with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Mosaic’s shared living service line, Mosaic at Home, is beneficial to those supported and host home families.
In her 40-year career at Mosaic, Sally Montgomery has always looked forward to finding better ways to support people–including families and the workforce.
Daisy didn’t like living on her own or living in a group home. She found the perfect lifestyle on an acreage with her Mosaic at Home provider, Milissa. Daisy’s life has blossomed with new opportunities!
Nikki Luckey lives life in her own unique and bold way. Ten years ago, she chose her Mosaic at Home provider based on a potato and a song.
Braden Tuffin is a typical 19-year-old teenager who loves to skateboard, build and refurbish skateboards, and wear skateboard clothes. With Mosaic at Home, Braden and his family found the independence and increased one-on-one attention he needed.
As Becky’s requirements changed, Mosaic carried out its due diligence to find someone who had the experience to help Becky with her needs—someone who would be a good fit. Betty and Becky “clicked” right away.
Kelly lives with Sheryl and Steinar Grimstad, who support Kelly through our Mosaic at Home program. Sheryl knew Kelly had a goal to learn to read. When the COVID restrictions hit and Kelly could not participate in her usual activities, Sheryl said, “Kelly, this would be a good time for you to learn how to read.”
