Please consider supporting 21 Plus this Giving Tuesday!

This Giving Tuesday, your support of 21 Plus and 21 Plus Foundation will help us meet our mission of enabling individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to lead fulfilling lives.

Individuals like Kelly. In February, Kelly arrived at Mizzen Group Home with little more than a few belongings and a heart full of uncertainty. She had been living in an environment where her basic needs weren’t being met, and it was clear she needed urgent help. That’s when 21 Plus stepped in.

Staff welcomed Kelly with open arms, offering her not just a safe place to live, but a community where she could begin to heal. It wasn’t easy. Kelly had never lived in a group home, and she had to leave behind many of the possessions that made her feel at home. But what she found at Mizzen was something even more valuable: friendship, support, and a sense of belonging.

Kelly began attending Main Street Adult Training Center. She shared stories of her past including how proud she was to have once held a job. Eager to regain her independence, Kelly joined the 21 Plus MSATC cleaning crew, working three days a week. Her dedication is inspiring: she plans her evenings around her work schedule, making sure she’s rested and ready to give her best.

With each paycheck, Kelly is rebuilding her life, replacing what she lost and choosing new items for her room that reflect her personality and pride. But more than that, she’s rediscovering her confidence.

Today, Kelly is thriving. She’s the kind of person who lights up a room, checking in on others, offering help, and spreading warmth wherever she goes. Whether she’s crocheting with housemates, watching TV with staff, or exploring the community, Kelly radiates joy.
Her progress is a testament to what happens when someone feels safe, supported, and truly cared for. And it’s made possible by people like you.

Your support helps individuals like Kelly find not just shelter, but hope. Not just care, but community.

We can't thank the volunteers from M&T Bank enough for volunteering to paint at one of our programs! We can't do what we do without the support of the community!
