CREATING

November 13, 2013 Donor Name 123 Donor Street Winnipeg, MB B2B 2B2 Dear Mr. Donor,

POSITIVE FUTURES

With your help, people with developmental disabilities are achieving new milestones. Your past donations have opened the door to change. Theyve helped people like Stacey and Julie dare to dream and are increasing the range of options available to the 1,700 children, youth and adults with disabilities St.Amant serves. All of St.Amants programs, services and research are designed to help each person achieve his or her full potential and live an enriched and fullling life. Demand for certain programs has dramatically increased like the Community Residential Program that provides alternative housing solutions for people with disabilities. The Autism program, a highly sought-after therapy for children, is another area much in demand. It provides tools and solutions for families and helps them develop the resilience to successfully adapt to the challenges associated with Autism. The reality is, the need for our services is greater than ever before and thats why were hoping youll once again consider making a gift to the St.Amant Foundation. Consider the story of two young women, Stacey and Julie. Today, both of them delight in the independence that living in their own place provides. Each previously lived at River Road Place. About 20 years ago, St.Amants rst community residence was built and Stacey moved in. Though she has multiple disabilities and cant walk, she leads a full and busy life despite her challenges. She insists on getting around the house on her own, without a wheelchair which takes a lot of time and effort. It gives me a feeling of independence and accomplishment, she says. She loves to bake and is able to, with her pommel walker. The walker supports her in an upright position as she chops and mixes. Kelly, her key worker helps her manage her own laundry and other household tasks. Stacey has a full-time job at the Norshel Centre, where last year, she proudly received an award for 15 years service. Julie just recently moved in with Stacey. She too has multiple disabilities and is non-verbal. The transition from River Road Place was tricky at times but a gradual move enabled things to go smoothly. The house had to be modied in order to make it accessible for Julie and to ensure her safety. She now attends an adult day program three days a week at St.Amants River Road Place, where she enjoys music, swimming and cooking programs and delights in reconnecting with friends.

Julies goal was to live on her own. She had a lot of challenges but the support she received from River Road Place was incredible. It really eased her way into community living, says Verna, Julies mom. Shes blooming as a result of her move to community living, and loves the ability to make her own choices. Mom has noticed new changes in her daughter since Julie and Stacey have become housemates. For example, Julie is slowly recovering her speech. I hadnt heard her voice in so long. Shes feeling more compelled to try different things in her new place like singing and its causing unusual breakthroughs. Its great not only for me but for the entire family. Though we loved River Road Place, its tough to nd a place to spend time alone with your child. Now, Julie feels she has her own home, just like her older sisters; not just a place shes living in. You know, Verna says, young people with disabilities want to go through the same rites of passage as everyone else. They want friends; want movie nights with them. They want to move out, explore the world, be involved in the whole human experience. As the baby of the family, Julie is spoiled and a bit of a tease. Living on her own is stretching her limits in a good way. Its not always easy but its healthy. As Verna shares her hopes with us that all that she wants is for her daughter to be happy and to feel included, were again reminded why St.Amant is so necessary to the people it serves:

FREEING THE SPIRIT, FULFILLING POTENTIAL, TOGETHER.
