THE IMPACT OF YOUR SUPPORT … MEET RONNIE!

Evergreen Life Services believes that everyone — even those people with multiple and profound disabilities, like Ronnie — can live in the community with the right support.

Evergreen has proudly served Ronnie since 1993. Before coming to Evergreen, Ronnie lived at a nursing home. As a relatively young man at the time, a nursing home was not an ideal fit. Sadly, many young individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are placed in nursing homes or other institutional settings when their families no longer can or want to care for them.

Ronnie has cerebral palsy. He requires staff assistance for everything, from dressing to bathing to feeding. Despite his severe limitations, Evergreen staff helped Ronnie uncover an ability he never would have discovered in a nursing home setting – painting. Ronnie is an artist. Ronnie has since painted dozens of beautiful canvases. His paintings are for sale at our Dallas Cultural Arts and Day Center and in our online store. Every time someone purchases one of his paintings, Ronnie receives half of the money. Painting has not only provided Ronnie with a way to earn money; it has given him confidence. He beams with pride whenever someone asks him about his work.

Your support ( https://els.givecloud.co/ ) gives individuals like Ronnie a chance. A chance to live as normal a life as possible in the community, not walled away in an institution. A chance to earn money. And a chance to find something that he or she is really good at.

Evergreen Life Services has been serving individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities for over sixty years. Today, we now serve over 1,100 individuals with disabilities in eight states.
