Becky and Scott are a local couple who has seen and has overcome their share of challenges. They have two beautiful children, Cheyenne and Duncan, who are both full of life and wonder, but have developmental challenges that require full time care and intervention.
When Duncan was first diagnosed with developmental delays, Becky needed to stay home to transport him to his therapy classes and to help him with his development and social skills.
Meanwhile, her husband Scott was having medical problems and was finally diagnosed with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia, causing him constant pain and making it unbearable for him to work on his feet all day. Their second child, Cheyenne, was now also showing signs of developmental troubles of her own.
With the help of Southern Kennebec Child Development Corporation, and programs supported by United Way funding, Becky and Scott were able to get both children into the programs they needed at an affordable childcare facility that could also meet the special needs of their children. With both children safe and learning how to overcome their challenges, Scott and Becky will enhance their job skills and improve their family’s circumstances.
Both Becky and Scott have already found time to give back to SKCDC because they feel that the programs they offer are so vital to the community—Scott volunteers 3 to 4 days per week at the program and Becky sits on the Board as well as advocates for other families in need.
Thank you for brininging the Gift of Hope to this family and so many others in the Kennebec Valley.
