Participant Spotlight: Meet Tammy đź’™
When you meet Tammy, you can’t help but smile. She’s known in our Day Program as the UNO Queen, a dancer, and someone who brings joy everywhere she goes.
Tammy has been part of Saint Joe’s for several years, and she has truly found a place to belong. Every day, she’s surrounded by caring staff, volunteers, and friends who encourage her to learn, grow, and shine.
Recently, she received a gait trainer, donated just for her, to help her strengthen her legs and support independent movement. The pride on her face with every step says it all.
This year, Tammy also became the first participant to begin our new Shoebox Tasks program — hands-on activities that build life skills, memory, and fine motor function. She’s already mastered her first set and is excited for what’s next!
These moments of confidence, progress, and belonging are the heart of our Day Programs — and they happen because of generous supporters who believe in our mission.
As we close out the year, we’re grateful for every gift that keeps programs like this thriving for participants like Tammy.
