March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, and RTC Services is proud to have incredible clients and associates making a difference in the community.
One of those clients is 44-year-old Mark Stanley, who recently achieved a long-term goal and major milestone through his work in production.
Mark works daily to acquire the skills necessary for community employment while simultaneously earning a paycheck. His hard work paid off, as he recently purchased his own home.
The local resident has always dreamed of attaining this independence, and now, thanks to his diligent work and perseverance, he’s turned that dream into a reality.
Mark has been an integral part of the RTC Production team, where he’s demonstrated dedication, responsibility, and a strong work ethic.
His journey to homeownership wasn’t easy, but Mark’s determination to gain independence has paid off.
“I’m so excited to have my own place,” he said with a huge smile. “I have the independence I’ve always wanted.”
The new chapter of Mark’s life has come with some fantastic surprises, including his new neighbors.
“They’re so helpful and kind,” Mark shared. “I feel really welcome here.”
Mark’s dream of homeownership is not just a personal achievement; it symbolizes his ongoing progress toward a future filled with even more possibilities. It’s a clear example of how hard work, patience, and a positive mindset can lead to independence and self-sufficiency.
Looking ahead, Mark is already setting his sights on the next big goal — owning his own business.
“That’s what I want to do next,” he said, with a glint of determination in his eyes. “I know it’s going to take time, but I’m ready to start working for it.”
Mark Stanley’s journey is a powerful reminder that dreams are achievable with perseverance and support from those around us. As Mark settles into his new home and continues to work toward his next big goal, we all wish him the best of luck on this incredible journey of independence.
