Joining the Jason's Place team has not only been an honor, but it's a true testament to life coming full circle. My youngest brother, Joey, had developmental disabilities and from an early age taught me how to embrace all the lessons and hardships life throws us each day and to see the beauty in what makes us all unique.
Spending each day with this group has been so fulfilling and I truly believe I found my calling.
