Day 30: Look to One Another

Today is the 17th Annual Enchanted Garden fundraiser for Rose-Mary Center.  In honor of Rose-Mary, and the work that they do – we are sharing a testimonial from a former employee, as well as sharing some photographs today with you from the site.

Established in October 1922, Rose-Mary Center began serving children with physically handicapping conditions such as polio and cerebral palsy. Due to advances in medicine and changing community needs, Rose-Mary revised its mission in 1967 to serve children with intellectual disabilities. Again in 1989, Rose-Mary Center’s mission was further expanded to include adults with intellectual disabilities when it opened its first community group home.

Today, Rose-Mary Center operates one facility in Euclid, OH with forty school-aged children young adults, and seven community group homes that are home to fifty-one adults throughout Cuyahoga County. More information about Rose-Mary Center can be found throughout the website.

In addition to the stories Holly shared, we would like to leave you with some pictures recently taken of residents at Rose-Mary Center.  If a picture is worth a thousand words, then imagine the stories behind these faces…
