You Can Change A Life!
Becky and Scott are a local couple that have seen and have overcome their share of challenges. They have two beautiful children, who are both full of life and wonder, but have developmental challenges that require full time care and intervention. When Duncan was first diagnosed with developmental delays, Becky decided that she needed to stay home more to transport him to his therapy classes and to help him with his development and social skills.
Meanwhile, her husband Scott was having medical problems and was finally diagnosed with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia that was causing him constant pain and made it unbearable for him to work on his feet all day. Their second child, Cheyenne, was now also showing signs of developmental troubles of her own.
With the help of Southern Kennebec Child Development Corporation, and programs supported by United Way funding, Becky and Scott were able to get both children into the programs they needed at an affordable childcare facility that could also meet the special needs of the children. With both children being safe and learning how to overcome their challenges, Scott and Becky will be able to go back to school to pursue and make changes in their careers to live more fulfilling lives.
Both Becky and Scott have already found time to give back to SKCDC because they both feel that the programs they offer are so vital to the community - Scott volunteers 3 to 4 days per week in the programs and Becky sits on the Board as well as advocates for other families in need.
Your donations to United Way of Kennebec Valley have made their story and many others one of success and continued hope.
