Good News Friday!

Here’s an inspiring story to start my new blogging year off right.

Christopher DiRosa, the Site Supervisor at Imagine!’s Charles Family SmartHome in Longmont, recently shared the photo below, along with some information about how he, and Imagine!, were able to improve the lives of some individuals with intellectual disabilities living in Haiti.

Last October, Imagine! donated medical supplies and a stander that he was able to take with him on a trip to Haiti, where he gave the supplies to a special needs orphanage there.

Equipment like the stander are in very short supply in Haiti, and the equipment donated by Imagine! continues to have a positive impact on the quality of life for that community. Christopher told us, “I was able to use much of the training acquired through my time with Imagine! to help with physical therapy, and partnered with other folks from Colorado to build and equip wheelchairs for those who were able to get their first wheelchairs ever. It was a fantastic time and Imagine! was a large part of the success.”

Great work, Christopher. I am honored to call you a co-worker.
