This past weekend we celebrated our three most recent graduates! We are all so proud! These gentlemen! They have grown and overcome adversity during their six months with us. And are continuing to grow in their next part of their journey. They all have made so many memories during their time with us. Built strong bonds with their peers, and had an experience we hope they will carry with them a life time. The Jacob's Ladder Family continues to grow! Congratulations gentlemen!

We are thrilled to share these recent glass pieces, skillfully created by the gentlemen. They took their time to craft meaningful pieces of art for themselves and their loved ones to display and share something significant to them. We enjoy seeing them combine fragments of broken glass into one beautiful, cohesive picture.
