Today is a Day of Inspiration featuring Community Living and brought to you by Ricco Foods on 105.7 myFM. We spoke with Deb Tugwell who is a Host Family Provider with Community Living and started her journey when she started fostering in the late 1980s. Deb says her one child who is autistic and non-verbal had an educational assistant in high school who helped really connect the family with community living which helped support her child in getting a job. Deb says the work that Community Living does is fantastic.
The family’s journey started many years ago and now their son is 27 and Community Living helped make everything a reality.
But like many there have been challenges, and she says her family’s biggest challenge has been dealing with 2 years of COVID-19 impacting their routines.
