Good News Friday!

Today, I am going to share several short pieces of good news about Imagine!, our programs, and our employees.

First, I’d like to share the exciting news that Imagine!’s very own Abhaya Gurung is a finalist for the Irwin Siegel Agency Direct Support Professional (DSP) of the year! This is a very prestigious national award, and Abhaya was selected out of many nominations because of his unwavering commitment to the individuals he serves.

Next, I’d like to share a short video of a mother of a young woman served by Imagine! as she talks about the powerful impact Imagine! has had on her daughter's life.

Here’s some nice comments from families who have participated in Imagine!’s Dayspring Community Calendar Activity Program, which introduces families with children with developmental disabilities and delays to places in our community that offer great activities and opportunities for their children to meet their goals through fun and play.

“My family really appreciates all these ‘extras’ that Dayspring provides, especially the groups run by an OT – fun for our 2 year old while actually sneakily helping do the work of therapy. We try to never miss any of them.”

“Our family has been so fortunate to have gained a positive experience through Dayspring’s CCA program. We cannot thank this organization enough for making a difference in our lives.”

And finally, here’s some nice thanks from a couple of families who have completed three-year enrollments in Imagine!’s Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Program, which is designed to meet the needs of school aged children with ASD who don’t qualify for funding from the state of Colorado despite having significant needs.

 “As always, thank you for all you do. You always go above and beyond. All these families are very lucky that you are at the helm, managing all this for them.”

“Thank you so much for putting up with me for three years. I appreciate all the help Imagine! has provided. As soon as we are back on our feet and not in the hole, you can count on us to make small donations. I'm going to miss you guys!”
