Mom, friend, advocate..thankful for each day. Currently hanging my hat at Easterseals Delaware & Maryland's Eastern Shore. All views my own.

This heartwarming moment between a 15-year-old boy on the spectrum and his barber is everything. This is more than a haircut — it’s care, patience, and inclusion in action. Every child deserves this kind of love.

Queen, David Bowie & Annie Lennox perform "Under Pressure" at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert (1992)

I hope Freddie and Bowie are still singing together up there. They gave us one of the greatest songs ever.

Legends are never forgotten.

Direct support professionals are more than caregivers—they’re lifelines to independence, dignity & quality of life. They wear more hats than we can count in an incredibly complex & demanding job that often goes unrecognized. #DSPRecognitionWeek

Big news! Our CEO, Katy Neas, made the 2024 #ForbesOver50 list! 🏆 This recognition amplifies the voices of people with IDD and showcases disability rights as a crucial social issue. This is a win for the entire disability community!

@SarahEMcBride Thank you for your leadership on this important legislation to help preserve services for Delaware’s most vulnerable citizens.

Due to low wages, it is hard for many Direct Support Professionals, like Lawrence, to support themselves and their families. Take a minute to sign our petition to tell Congress that #CareCantWait: https://t.co/MgqeRvsWYL​​
