💙 Celebrating DSP Recognition Month! 💙

This September, we honor the Direct Support Professionals who make independence, opportunity, and community possible every day at Bello Machre. Their care and compassion turn ordinary moments into something extraordinary.

Meet Spike, a recipient of our Community Services, who shares how DSPs have supported his journey and independence. His story is just one of many that show the difference DSPs make every day.

Later this year, Spike will be featured in Thriving Together, a special documentary project highlighting powerful stories from individuals in Carroll County and the service providers who support them — including Bello Machre.

💙 Join us in celebrating DSP Month by thanking the DSPs who make a lifetime of loving care possible!
