March is National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, and we’re reminded of the resilience, adaptability, and strength within our community.
Last year, two of our programs came together after an unexpected fire at our Medford Program required everyone to transition into a shared space. While sudden change can be challenging, especially when routines and environments shift, the participants in both programs showed incredible flexibility and determination.
With the support of dedicated staff and a strong sense of teamwork, individuals adjusted to new routines, connected with new peers, and continued participating in their daily activities and programming. What could have been a difficult transition instead became a powerful example of community, support, and resilience.
This experience reminds us that when the right supports are in place, everyone can navigate change, build meaningful connections, and continue to thrive.
💙 This month and every month, we celebrate the strength, growth, and contributions of the developmental disabilities community.

Sam B. — Strong, Steady, Supported 💚
Every person’s journey is unique to them, and for Sam, finding the right support made all the difference.
Before coming to Friends of Cyrus II, Sam’s family shared concerns about his difficulty managing his anger, following directions, and staying on task. Sam needed a structured environment with compassionate and comprehensive care in order to succeed.
At first, Sam’s transition was not an easy one, but he showed incredible perseverance. The growth that followed has been inspiring to witness.
Today, Sam is managing his emotions with confidence, he has become more active in his community, and fosters healthy relationships with his housemates and staff. Sam has also successfully gained employment and takes pride in his responsibilities.
His Mom shared great appreciation for Sam’s house manager, Tanya, who has shown patience and real care that has helped Sam feel understood and supported.
We’re proud to be part of Sam’s journey and look forward to continuing to support his growth.

Despite facing significant challenges related to her health and communication, one of our incredible residents, Blair has demonstrated remarkable resilience and growth. With the unwavering support of her family, she has learned to better manage her needs and transition into adult services.
At just 18 years old, Blair was diagnosed with May-Thurner Syndrome, a complex vascular condition. At first, Blair had difficulties communicating her needs pertaining to her diagnosis. When Blair and her family joined the FOCII community, we provided personalized support that helped build her independence and strengthen her communication skills. Blair's father shared, "FOCII has truly changed Blair's life, as well as our family's. She has become an incredible advocate for herself."
Today, Blair continues to make remarkable strides and achieve amazing milestones. We are extremely proud to be a part of her journey and feel deeply grateful to Blair and her family for allowing us the opportunity to support her in her successes.

After collecting all of our food items for our FOC Gives Back project, the Millstone Day Program took a trip to The Hope Center to drop everything off.
Everyone got to talk with the folks who work there and ask questions about all the services the center provides.
Friends of Cyrus II is excited to continue this partnership and get more involved with our local communities to continue giving back! 👥

At Friends of Cyrus II, we understand the importance of giving back to our communities. The Millstone Day Program participants decided to host a food and coat drive for a local charity, The Hope Center. 🫶
Everyone collected various food items including canned goods, pasta, and breakfast items along with collecting coats for those in need of support.
As an agency, we are proud of the individuals we serve that continuously want to help others in need and are eager to do so.
