Santa's helpers completed Operation Christmas Elf. Check put the cool boxes these elves delivered today! Thank you to all the helpers that made this possible. It might not add the same spirit that having your extended family would, but hopefully it does add a little something special!! Merry Christmas everyone and a special wish for PACE families: may you all stay healthy and warm!!!

A Christmas message from the Families of the Down Syndrome Community of Saskatchewan! Ryan Hicks, thank you for the use of your beautiful song!

All has he ever wanted was a chance. And if he was given that chance, they’d never forget him. They said Jake Pratt of Vestavia Hills would never contribute. Th...ey said he’d never make his high school football team. They said he’d never graduate from high school. They said he’d never get his driver’s permit. They said he’d never graduate from college. Jake Pratt has proven them all wrong, and now I have the pleasure of announcing some big news! Jake has landed a job at UPS!!! He’s not driving a truck, but he is working up to 8 hours a day running packages to our doorsteps. He’s walking some 15,000 steps a day. He’s doing it with a smile. Yes, he's now "Jake From UPS". Oh, and that’s in addition to Jake working maintenance at a golf course from 6-10 am seven days a week. That big backpack blower? Piece of cake. Yes, Jake Pratt is making his lunch the night before each workday. Placing his clothes out. Turning in early. Ready to remind us that he will not be forgotten. All he ever wanted was a chance, and the UPS folks have given him as chance. Now, this 21-year-old with Down syndrome is showing the world what people with special needs can accomplish with hard work. This young man is helping to make our Christmas merrier. My heart is full as my pride in Jake runs deep. Please congratulate Jake, and if you see him on his route, give him a yell. All has he ever wanted was a chance. And if he was given that chance, they’d never forget him. I have to admit, "Jake From UPS" is going to be tough to forget. Please share this great news! https://bit.ly/3fZzF1G Pictures from Kathy and Jay Pratt UPS Clemson University Rick Karle WVTM 13 The Kelly Clarkson Show Alabama Football Auburn Tigers Southeastern Conference Alabama Crimson Tide Fans

Bill C-7 weaponizes systematic ableism by making assisted dying a legitimate substitute for assistance in living. Join us in confronting the misguided belief... one that is set to become enshrined in law that life with a disability is a fate worse than death. Protect the lives, rights, and dignity of people with disabilities and help us show government that every life is a life worth of dignity. http://worthliving.ca See more
