This morning I took an Uber to work. I wasn’t expecting to discuss anything beyond the usual pleasantries – chilly morning, looking forward to fall, etc. My driver asked me about where I worked and we ended up talking about a young woman that she knows who has been on the services waiting list for eight years. She graduated from the school district’s transition program and now waits for an opportunity to be able to use the skills she has worked on to live the life she wants. She continues to hope for the day she can move in to her own place. She is not alone.

On Monday afternoons, singing can be heard coming from the fellowship hall at St. Peter Lutheran Church. There is a tape recording of piano music playing and a mix of voices singing “This Little Light of Mine”; one of those voices a line behind the rest, but still articulating each word. If you step into the fellowship hall, you will see a group of adults sitting around a long table covered in coloring pages, crayons, and a craft project that corresponds with the afternoon’s Bible lesson.

For the last 18 years, Mosaic employees have given not only their time and talent, but also their treasure. In June, Mosaic kicked off the annual three-week employee giving campaign. Employees are given the opportunity to give back, if they chose, through a payroll deduction. Most contributions are only a couple dollars every paycheck, but those dollars add up to big results.

Did you know that 30 years ago:

  1. NASA launched space vehicle S-214.
  2.  Australia unveiled the 1st platinum coin, called the Koala.
  3. Most importantly – in our opinion – Mosaic began providing services to people in the State of Delaware!

But how did it all begin?

Meaningful Life: Butch Goes to the Beach

Meaningful Life: Butch Goes to the Beach

Butch has been with Mosaic for many years, and he is one of the people Mosaic serves who no longer has family members. However, Butch has made a name for himself with the community and the staff. He is someone who knows what he likes and we work with him to make his dreams happen! 

A few months ago, Butch told staff members that he wanted to go to the beach—he’d never seen the ocean before. The wonderful team that supports him decided that this was a dream that he couldn’t miss, so Butch headed to Galveston.

The Vocational Center at Mosaic in Dallas thrives on working with individuals to enjoy a meaningful life, but also focuses on giving a voice to the needs of the people we serve. When the Vocational Center staff started teaching Spanish, Donna jumped right in. Donna has excelled at her Spanish class—she loves learning a new skill. So far, the class has been working on colors and numbers, but Donna is going above and beyond to continue adding new vocabulary to her repertoire.
