A Christmas Gift of Generosity, Kindness, and Hospitality!
This is a special blog post from Fisher Creative Image Photography about a visit to Thursday night’s Jills practice by a big Jills fan:
BIG THANKS to Stephanie, Nichole and Buffalo Jills!
Mary is an older woman with Down Syndrome and as well as many other debilitating diseases. She is small in stature but mighty in fortitude and wanting to live a full life. In a recent conversation with her, I learned that she had several dreams she wanted to complete in her life. She resides in an ARC home that has a terrific staff. One of Mary’s life-long dreams was to go on a roller coaster, which made me curious if she could meet the height requirement. The staff took Mary to Darien Lake and she rode all the different roller coasters there. She grinned ear to ear as she told me of how the staff didn’t fare too well, but she could have ridden all day! She became quite animated as she boasted on her accomplishment.
Another dream Mary shared was that she wanted to play pool. Toward the close of summer, a staff member took Mary to a place where she played pool. “I won all three games, I did! exclaimed Mary. Being legally blind, this was quite a wonderful time for her to be able to complete this dream.
