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
After much searching, Jay’s mother Marie found Mosaic, the right place that tailored his supports to his unique needs and wants.
James Kences, supported by Living Innovations, serves as York, Maine’s unofficial historian and is a vocally strong York historic preservationist. But he wasn’t always that way. His case manager said 10 years ago when she met James, he trusted few people and barely stepped foot out of his home.
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.
People say on the third strike you’re out. But that’s not true with Mosaic on your side. When Aaron Mickle faced what looked like it would be a third strike, Mosaic helped him instead turn it into a literal home run.
Jordan Ingram lives life on his terms these days, boldly defying limitations that were placed on him in the past and learning to do more and more for himself.
David was always focused on caring for and helping others, and he put himself last. When he decided to ask for more help, Mosaic was ready to assist. Today, David is getting out more, and he was even chosen for Kansas Interhab’s “Outstanding Personal Growth Award.”
Rose and Jude Bernard had three teenage children when they became home providers with Mosaic for three toddlers who later were adopted into the family.
