October is more than pink ribbons and reminders — it’s about people, stories, and standing together. This month, we’re standing with Allison Mears, one of our own, as she bravely takes on her fight with strength and determination. She is our Behavior Support Specialist who is currently walking through her own battle with breast cancer. Allison continues to inspire us with her courage, her heart, and her unwavering spirit. 💗🦩
Allison, you remind us daily that bravery isn’t the absence of fear — it’s choosing to keep moving forward, one step at a time.
At DMESC, HER FIGHT IS OUR FIGHT!!! 💪💞🦩
Please join us in standing beside her - lifting her up with love, hope, and unshakable support.🦩
