MW, a 45-year-old man with Down Syndrome, had always been an active participant at Our Place Recreation Center. However, like many families, MW and his mother faced difficult decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Concerned about his health, MW’s mom chose to keep him at home, limiting his exposure to potential illness. While this decision ensured MW’s safety, it also meant stepping away from the activities and friendships he loved so much.

Mike and his family thought our program would be a great opportunity to engage in some activities as a family. They had not participated in the past. He said his kids came home with the flyer and really wanted to do it.
Mike said that with his job he finds it sometimes difficult to attend all of their kids activities and when he does, he mostly drops them off and picks them up. When he saw our program he looked at it as a way do something with them. |
