Roy’s “Can Do” Attitude – Still Inspiring Others
Roy was born in 1924 with cerebral palsy, and raised in the small town of Perth, North Dakota. He could walk but needed assistance from his brother and sister on snowy days. His sister (my mother) was devastated at 8 years old when hearing a neighbor say “people like that don’t live very long.”
Little Miss Sunshine in the World of 2020
2020 has been filled with inconveniences for all of us. COVID-19 has limited our ability to travel, shop and visit with friends, and it’s forced us to rethink the way we go about our days. For individuals with developmental difficulties, it’s added another hurdle to a life already filled with challenges.
PODCAST: Lighting the Candle of Hope
The first ever podcast on UCP services tells the story of a family of 6 with two children having developmental disabilities; One with Downs Syndrome and the other on the Autism scale. The need for respite, taking a break, is how the story unfolds as they describe their situation and the blessing the service has provided. Harold and Mari have a beautiful story with wonderful relief that the UCP respite program has provided.
