Greg was born with Downs Syndrome. It was our joy to watch him grow into a lively little boy who enjoyed riding his bike, running track, climbing trees and befriending the neighbors. He was always on the go!
But as he entered his teens, it became more challenging for him to find meaningful social interactions and to pursue his interests. He often expressed how tired he was of shopping with his sisters. It was clear that he wanted more – to enjoy his own interests and to realize more of his own hopes and dreams.
At that time, we discovered Peppermint Ridge. We were ecstatic. Greg would be close enough to easily connect, but would also enjoy enough space from us to develop the sense of independence that he so desperately wanted. Once we visited and met the loving staff, we both knew this was the perfect home for him. At 18, his adventure began at C Home and today, in his forties, he is still very happy at The Ridge.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. The staff makes it possible for my son Greg to have a life we thought he might never enjoy.
