Meet Shane

Shane is a young man who grew up in foster care system and has experienced many placements. Fortunately, once he was placed with Inspiritus, we were able to provide the stability he needed. Over the last four years, Shane has thrived due to the care of his loving foster mother who nurtured, cared for, and ushered him into adulthood. What is so special about this story is that Shane is autistic, has cerebral palsy, and functions at an adolescent level. As Shane reached the age of 21, he almost fell through the cracks as many young adults with disabilities do. But thanks to the collaboration of Inspiritus, DFCS and DBHDD, he was successfully transitioned to Inspiritus’ Host Home program where he continues to move into independence and reach his full potential!
