Wholeness of Life

As noted on the MOSAIC website:

"In one study, respondents ranked supporting people with intellectual disabilities as a low priority – even below helping animals."

My dear friend, and creative advertising genius, Marty, created videos found in the above mentioned link in support of an organization that provides persons with intellectual disabilities with much needed help. As they utter in their mission statement:

"In partnership with people who have disabilities, Mosaic provides supports and advocates that all may realize God's gift of wholeness of life."

Indeed, ‘wholeness of life.’ A wholeness that I cannot state that I ‘truly’ experienced until after the birth of our beloved Elliot who proudly sports an extra 21st chromosome. Ironic. I was not whole until he entered my life. He has given me that gift, and sadly, many like him are not able to experience this exact wholeness themselves.

Please spread the word with regard to my friend’s work in support of this campaign. And yes, the video creation is very poignant and I assume was created on a pro bono basis. God bless, Marty! Thank you for working toward serving people with intellectual disabilities.
