Celebrating Independence & Self-Advocacy
Jay’s car represents so much more than transportation, it represents independence, choice, and self-advocacy. For many years, Jay’s car helped him live life on his own terms. It got him to and from work before he retired, to his favorite Chinese restaurant, and to countless baseball games at The Diamond. While Jay is driving less these days, we still want to celebrate what this milestone means and the journey it represents. Through our Supported Living program, Jay has been empowered to make decisions about his own life, with DSPs providing the right support at the right time, from helping schedule routine maintenance to replacing windshield wipers and ensuring his car stayed safe and reliable.
This is what support looks like: honoring independence, encouraging self-advocacy, and walking alongside someone as they live the life they choose. We’re proud of Jay and grateful for the DSPs who continue to support him in meaningful, practical ways every day. This is making a place called home.
