Christopher's Story
When my son, Christopher was 3 years old, he suffered traumatic brain injury after being hit by a drunk driver. For 29 years, he has lived with intellectual and physical disabilities and requires 24 hour supervised care. He recieves that care at Oak Hill, where he lives in a group home and attends a day program where staff treats him and others like him with dignity, respect and like a member of their own family.
At Oak Hill Christopher feels accomplished and part of his community while working at his supportive employment job. His happiness is due in large part to the individualized attention and genuine affection he receives from his caretakers and the access he has to equipment that enables him to live life to the fullest.
Your donation will ensure that my son, his housemates, and all the people served by Oak Hill have more than just the bare essentials - it will ensure that they have a way to see the world when they have no vision, a way to communicate when they can't speak, and a means of transport when they cannot walk.
Thank you,
Janice Favreau (Christopher's mother)
