We first met Gregg in March of 2020.  His family needed support when COVID hit and his day time activities were cancelled, leaving him with nothing to do during the day while his family had to work.  Gregg was not able to stay home alone.  We welcomed him with open arms, glad to be able to provide support to someone in need during a crisis.  When Gregg first started, he was shy, quiet, kept to himself and even fell asleep.  As we got to know Gregg, we struggled with learning his interests because he was very shy.  As our relationship developed and we got to know him, and he got to know us, Gregg became smiling, laughing, cracking jokes and slowly making friendships.  As the year went on, Gregg decided he had made friendships with people in the Building Full Lives Program and wanted to continue exploring this program more.  This opportunity has supported Gregg to come out of his shell, being more talkative, laughing, interacting and making his own choices.  Gregg can’t wait to get out into the community, explore new things that he chooses and make new friends.
