Happy everyone!

Today we’re celebrating a major milestone for one of our Worcester Service Warriors! Two days ago, Matthew moved into his own apartment and is now living independently—separate from his sister and family—for the first time.

Way to go, Matthew! This is a huge step toward your independent living goals, and we couldn’t be more proud of you.



Image Descriptions:
Image 1 is a photo of Matthew’s profile, where he is showing off his new haircut that is featuring his hair clipped in a way that outlines a big heart.

Image 2 is a photo taken of Matthew behind a podium as he delivers a speech during the Public Speaking Leadership Development Day earlier this year.

Image 3 is a team photo of Matthew and the rest of the Worcester Service Warrior team. Matthew is standing tall and smiling on the left side of the group.
