The highlight of Billy’s week is the time he spends at Pathways. He lights up when he talks about his friends, the caring staff, and the activities that bring him so much joy.

For Billy, Pathways is more than a place to go a few times a week; it’s a place where he feels safe, valued, and connected. Through community integration experiences like volunteering and learning daily living skills like cooking, Billy has gained independence and a sense of purpose. And let’s not forget his favorite – music, especially playing the drums, an experience he gained at Pathways, leading him to get his very own drum to practice on at home!

“Pathways has always made me feel that Billy is in a safe, caring environment,” shares Shari, Billy’s aunt. “The program provides opportunities that have enriched his life and brought him so much joy. Thank you for all you do to support my nephew!”

Billy thrives at Pathways, but without the Hamby Scholarship fund, it wouldn’t be possible for Billy to attend. You can help students like Billy access the life-changing opportunities Pathways offers.
