It’s A Day of Inspiration here at 94.1 myFM, presented by Doug Tarry Homes and Geerlinks Home Hardware & Building Centre.
Today, we are taking some time to highlight the amazing work Community Living does for residents of St. Thomas and Elgin.
For those not familiar, Community Living Elgin is a not-for-profit charitable organization that supports and advocates for the rights of adults with developmental disabilities and helps assist them to live independent lives.
Mary Shaw is one of those individuals.
Shaw, who lives in St. Thomas, currently shares a home with 3 roommates. She notes that each one takes on a different role in the household.
She’s also an avid baker.
With support from Community Living Elgin, Shaw has reached a number of significant milestones in her life, including 30 years of service at McDonalds here in St. Thomas.
And as her brother Ken Holland adds, she may have been a part of a big first for Community Living Elgin.
Because of Community Living Elgin, Shaw who is now 67, is still able to live an independent life with on going support.
