Hey Everyone! 

 

I don't know how much you have been following this, but the victims from the shooting in Pittsburgh included two brothers with developmental disabilities that lived near and received support to live independently. See below a note from the agency that supported them along with an article describing them and the other people that lost their lives there. 

 

Please keep them and everyone else affected by this tragedy in your thoughts and prayers. 

 

JB

As the ACHIEVA family mourns the loss of the Rosenthal brothers, this quote about them really resonates. They weren’t just included. They belonged. 

 

“Today we talk about inclusion, but they were just part of the community, and I didn’t think anything about it," Mr. Solomon said. “It was my introduction to the fact that there are people like that and they are just like the rest of us.”
