Brandon is an amazing example of dreams do come true. Brandon had a long-term dream of moving out of his home and living independently for quite some time. Brandon has faced many challenges and let downs in the process of searching for a home. Brandon met each of these challenges head on. In December of 2024, Brandon moved into his own home with two roommates. Brandon has navigated understanding how to communicate with his roommates and as well learning new life skills. Brandon is eager to lend a hand and learn from his landlord when he stops by to make repairs. Brandon is generous with his roommates and often tries to prepare his famous sandwiches for himself and his roommates. Brandon is thriving in his new environment and has taken pride in his newly found independence.
Client of the Month
Brandon has a huge heart and cares about others. Brandon at times would shy away from communication. Since moving out on his own Brandon reaches out to say hello and check in with staff. Brandon has made such a tremendous leap in his life and has plans to keep furthering his independence. Brandon dreams of one day being completely independent in all areas of his life and is actively working on that dream as often as possible. Brandon was also a client of the month and was very happy to share his achievement with his family and friends.
Many Talents
Brandon enjoys spray painting art and is very talented. Brandon is also an avid gamer and enjoys spending time with his group of friends online that he has known for many years. When Brandon and I first started working together, he found my lack of knowledge regarding gaming and internet services very funny. Brandon’s humor is top notch, and he is always ready for a good laugh! Through good humor and a fair amount of teasing, Brandon was able to teach me some basic gaming technology and why having good internet is such a priority for gaming. Brandon knowledge of technology is truly amazing. He is my go-to for anything technology related.
Our team has been so blessed to watch Brandon’s dream come true and we are so excited for what the future holds for him!
