✨ Success Story: Rose’s Growing Independence! ✨

Meet Rose! Rose made a recent food purchase for her lunch at Martin’s and when she got the total for her items, she got out her wallet and cash, looking for the right bill to give for payment. The best part, she did not ask for assistance and was independent during this transaction!

We’re so proud of her progress and the independence she continues to show every day! 👏
