During this difficult time, the job coaches and job developer organized virtual training session for individuals to participate in. These sessions have proven to be very valuable to the individuals. Thank you to Becky, Renee, Julie and Robin!!

Sidneya Seals is an extra-ordinary DSP. She was able to remain calm and professional while in a particularly difficult, stressful situation. She handled the situation so well and was able to adapt quickly to the change and assist those we support to understand what was happening and help them also adapt. I am so proud of how she represents Bethesda!

Becky Raether is a hero because she goes above and beyond to ensure the people we support are engaged and having fun during this difficult time!

Shout out to the gals in A/P. Thank you for keeping the bills paid, the lights on and postage in the meter. You keep Bethesda running. 🙂

Ministry Leader Sue Hart and her daughter Hannah Hart sewed all weekend to supply some Bethesda staff in Colorado with medical caps. They were requested by those working at a Bethesda ICF. The caps help keep hair out of the way while performing daily duties. The colorful cotton prints of fabric add a bit of whimsy to their work attire!

We are so very grateful to the staff at Brunn House in Leawood, Kansas. They help our son and his housemates live in a safe and secure environment.

Jackie, Hannah, Kenisha, Emma, Kathy, Amanda, Pete, Sue, Jim, Judy, Becky, Janice, and Barb. Thank you for putting the people we support first! 🙂

One of the ladies that we support in MO broke her glasses. We were having a very hard time finding a place to get them fixed or replaced because her eye care center was closed, as many others are as well. Veronica remembered a place that she had experience with in the past. She reached worked with Michelle and found out that they were open for contactless service. Michelle then made sure that the glasses were fixed ASAP!
