Feature Friday ๐Ÿ’™

Big news from our green space โ€” and we have some very special partners to thank!

Thanks to the generous support of the Michael Ibold Wilger Foundation and GE Aerospace Community Service Fund, we are bringing a new adaptive wheelchair swing to Saint Joe's! ๐ŸŒณ

This isn't just any swing. It's designed to hold a wheelchair securely, so our residents can experience the simple, joyful feeling of swinging โ€” fresh air, movement, and a little bit of magic โ€” right in our own backyard.
This swing was made possible by grants from the Michael Ibold Wilger Foundation and GE Aerospace Community Service Fund. We are so grateful to both organizations for seeing the value in enriching the everyday lives of the people we serve.

To our friends at โ€” thank you for your continued commitment to our community and to making possibility a reality for our residents. It has truly been a pleasure partnering with you. ๐Ÿ’™

Stay tuned โ€” we can't wait to show you this incredible new addition in action!

Wisdom Wednesday ๐Ÿ’™

We mailed out our Spring Appeal a few weeks ago, and the response was incredible!

Nearly 100 gifts came in totaling $24,900 โ€” all in support of children like Journee and the compassionate team that cares for her every day.

If you gave, thank you. Because of supporters like you, Saint Joe's gets to be the kind of place where a little girl rolls over for the first time and has a whole room full of people cheering her on.

Thank you for choosing to be part of what we do here. ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ’™ Mission Monday: Employee Spotlight โ€” Hi, I'm Vanessa!

If you've read a story on our website, liked a social post, or opened one of our emails or donor appealsโ€ฆ hi, that's me! ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm Vanessa Schutte, Saint Joe's Marketing & Communications Manager โ€” and this April, I celebrated my one-year anniversary here. I handle all things marketing: advertising, our website, content and social media, communications, and working closely with our Advancement team on everything supporter-facing, from appeals and campaigns to donor emails. Basically, if it has words and a Saint Joe's logo on it, it probably crossed my desk. ๐Ÿ˜„

I came to Saint Joe's from a corporate marketing background โ€” brand strategy and ex*****on for companies like P&G, Newell, and most recently Gorilla Glue, where I spent five+ years on their international team. The move to nonprofit was something I'd always had in the back of my mind, and honestly, making that leap was one of the things I'm most proud of. Saint Joe's felt right from the start โ€” this place is truly about community, and I feel that every day.

Outside of work, I'm a proud Cincinnati girl! Married, with two kids (10 & 11 โ€” in absolutely every sport imaginable ๐Ÿ…). We're a Bengals, Reds, Xavier basketball, FC Cincinnati household through and through. And in the fall and holiday season, you might just find me at a local market selling my handmade candles. ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ

So glad to be part of this mission โ€” and grateful to help tell its story. ๐Ÿ’™

โœจ Feature Friday โœจ

Thereโ€™s ALWAYS something fun happening in our Adult Day Programs!

The bunnies made another special visit โ€” this time hopping over to our Blue Ash Day Program! ๐Ÿฐ Participants also enjoyed a visit from Ensemble Theater, which continues to be a favorite activity filled with laughter, creativity, and connection. ๐ŸŽญ

And sometimes the best moments are the simple ones โ€” like heading out together to enjoy some fries with friends!๐ŸŸ

Meanwhile at our Sharonville Day Program, participants have been hard at work hand-painting flower pots that will be available for purchase at tomorrowโ€™s plant sale! ๐ŸŒผ We hope youโ€™ll stop by and support their amazing work.

Every week brings new experiences, community connections, and plenty of smiles along the way.
Have a great weekend!

Mission Monday ๐Ÿ’™

We're giving a shoutout to May We Help today โ€” an extraordinary nonprofit partner making independence possible for people with disabilities right here in our community.

May We Help's team of skilled volunteers โ€” engineers, designers, woodworkers, therapists, and more โ€” come together to design and build custom, one-of-a-kind devices for people with disabilities, all at no cost to recipients. When the right solution doesn't exist in the marketplace, they simply build it. ๐Ÿ”จ

We are so appreciative of the numerous times May We Help has stepped up for Saint Joe's โ€” generously donating custom devices that have made a real difference in the lives of those we serve. Their kindness and dedication do not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for this partnership. ๐Ÿ™

From the race course to the museum, garden center, and Chuck E. Cheese โ€” our Recreation team has been making the most of spring! ๐Ÿ’™

One of our favorite recent highlights? Our residents participated in PigAbilities โ€” a 1-mile inclusive race held during the Flying Pig Marathon weekend. We couldn't be more proud of everyone who crossed that finish line!

Here's to more adventures ahead โœจ

Wisdom Wednesday ๐Ÿ’™

The Saint Joe's Incline to the Finish Line 5K is always one of our favorite days of the year โ€” and this one did not disappoint.

From the starting line to the finish, the energy was incredible. Walkers, runners, rollers, volunteers, and supporters came together to celebrate the individuals and families we serve โ€” and it showed in every single moment.

We're so excited to finally share the professional recap video and photos with you. Take a look and relive the day with us! ๐Ÿ’™

โœจ Mission Monday Spotlight: Meet Angie โœจ

Last week, we had the privilege of sitting down with Angieโ€™s family while they visited all the way from New Jersey โ€” and what an incredible story they shared. ๐Ÿ’™

Angieโ€™s connection to Saint Joeโ€™s spans generations. Her mom was actually adopted through Saint Joeโ€™s back when we were known as St. Joseph Infant and Maternity Home. Years later, Angie now calls Saint Joeโ€™s home herself.

Born and raised in Cincinnati, Angie grew up in White Oak alongside her three younger siblings and spent lots of time with family on the West Side. Her family lovingly calls her โ€œRangie,โ€ while those closest to her at work affectionately tease her with the nickname โ€œAngie-licious.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜Š

Angie has lived full-time at Saint Joeโ€™s for more than 10 years. Before that, her family often utilized our respite services as she navigated a medically complex life growing up. But if you meet Angie, youโ€™d never know it โ€” she is constantly smiling, full of joy, and has a way of making everyone around her smile too. (We can absolutely attest to that!)

When asked about some of Angieโ€™s favorite things, her family laughed and shared: her Chippendale calendars, Skyline Chili, and sip-and-paint classes. ๐Ÿท๐ŸŽจ๐ŸŒญ

One of Angieโ€™s biggest accomplishments during her time at Saint Joeโ€™s has been learning how to successfully use her communication device. Using her elbow to press the buttons, sheโ€™s now able to communicate more independently with both her family and care staff โ€” something that has truly transformed connection and communication in her daily life.

Her family shared that Saint Joeโ€™s means everything to them. They called it their โ€œsaving graceโ€ โ€” a place that has provided Angie with incredible, consistent care and a true home.

Angie brings so much joy to everyone around her. Her happiness is truly infectious, and we are so grateful she is part of the Saint Joeโ€™s family. ๐Ÿ’™
