Developmental Services Center's Tree of Hope Family

 

The Developmental Services Center's, "Tree of Hope" campaign is something I look forward to every year. DSC provides individuals with disabilities services and support necessary to live, work, learn and participate in their communities. But they can't do it alone. Every year they introduce us to a family that really exemplifies what the organization does for so many in the community. This year it's the Johnsons and I got a chance to meet Zoe and her mom, Kinetta. Zoe was extremely sweet, and a little sleepy (hey, it's early!) but she didn't hesitate when I asked her to pose for this picture. You can read Zoe's full story here and learn about how you can help DSC continue to help so many in Champaign-Urbana.

And so it begins....

Good morning and welcome to Sunrise! That's how I start most days so I figured that's how I'd start my first blog entry. I've wanted to start a blog for a while now and finally got up the nerve today. Most days we only have, at max, three minutes to introduce you to people and events making headlines in our community, but I hope this forum will allow me give a little more information on some of my favorite guests. Let the fun begin!
