when I need them.”
-- Henry McDonnell

help to Robert. With your assistance and direction, he has

living “on his own.” We can't thank MORC ENOUGH!”
-- Rose Werney

support coordinator and all of MORC's representatives for
all their services they provide for our family. Without your

You All.”

it.”

“Hello, my name is Antwan
Murray, and I’ve been a consumer of MORC for several
years. I really like MORC services because I’ve met
a bunch of really nice people, and I like the services MORC
has to offer. MORC has helped me keep my job; and if MORC
asked me to go to bat for them, I would go for them in a heartbeat.”
-- Antwan Murray
“My daughter has been with
MORC since 1988. She has been well taken care of. Her needs
have been met. I think MORC has done a good job! I am very
satisfied.”
-- Helen Waters
“So happy! With the help
of God and the services provided by MORC Allison has a great
life. No more hitting herself, biting herself, and being awake
all night. Thank you MORC.”
-- Arleen Thomson
“You give me lots of ideas.
When I have a problem, you get right back to me with answers.
Even if you don't know, you find out. It's been great!”
-- Lucy Pfaff
“I'm very pleased with
the program and like what I'm doing! I like to go out and
get dirty clothes from the hair cut places and wash and fold
the laundry. I used to twiddle my thumbs at the other program
— now I make money. If you ever want to come over and
take my picture, that would be great.”
-- Raymond Brunson
“The day started as any
other day would for me; it changed with one simple call from
my support coordinator who asked if I would mind if she nominated
me for an award. Right away I said ‘yes, sure can!’
They had a lunch for all the nominees. Even though I didn’t
get the big award, I still got an award, thanks to my support
coordinator nominating me, which made me feel special. It
meant the world to me that the support coordinator was able
to be there with me.”
-- Darcy DeVore
“I am the guardian of my
42-year-old son. Tim has been a client of MORC for more years
than I care to recall. The support coordinator assigned to
Tim at the beginning, fortunately for Tim and I, remains with
us today.
“As a single parent with a second child and a student,
there is no way I could have managed it all without the support
coordinator’s patience (I recall several phone messages
that I left) and support. While MORC and I had differences
of opinion, I always believed that my position on whatever
the matter was given consideration.
“Thank you to all the MORC staff who worked with us
for getting us through the 'trying times.'”
--Paulette Birchard
“My family has been extremely
appreciative for the MORC sibling workshops. We have been
looking for a regular sibling group for years for our two
daughters. Emma, 11, and Nora, 9, look forward each month
to the group's activities. Nora says, ‘It's fun and
you make lots of cool stuff and do lots of really fun games.’
“They give you ideas that you can use with your brother
or sister so it makes it easier to live with them.
“This has been the only program in the area for siblings
of kids with disabilities. It has been a great help for the
girls to realize they are not alone in living with a brother
who is disabled. It has been a needed opportunity for them
to have a safe environment to talk and learn. They have been
forming friendships with the other siblings. They work together
and especially enjoy the birthday projects where they create
special paintings or bags for the birthday kid.
“Usually their brother gets all the special attention
and extra services. This, while absolutely necessary for the
family, does create a backlash with our ‘regular’
kids. The Sibshop group makes them feel special, too, and
it sends them home better prepared and willing to live with
and help their special brother!
“As the word spreads, more and more kids are wanting
to join. We hope this group will continue for many years!
“Thank you,”
