Meet the McDonnells!

Jim and Jane McDonnell have been the steady heart of their son Paul’s life. Paul, who has autism, brings joy, curiosity, and his own unique rhythm to their family. But as Jim and Jane grow older, planning for Paul’s future support has become more challenging.

Thanks to LBSA’s Family Navigation Services, the McDonnells now have a trusted partner helping them cut through complicated systems and focus on Paul’s well-being. 💛

Their story reminds us that everyone deserves support, clarity, and a bridge to a bright future.
