Hi, I'm Patty Croteau. I work with Gordon to serve our Guardianship clients, all of who have developmental, as well as other, disabilities. Although I have been a Certified Professional Guardian for many years, the real inspiration for my work with the DD population lies closer to home. My son, Quinn, is autistic. Although his use of language is rudimentary, and he has no social graces, Quinn shines brightly with his happy nature, energy, and intelligence. As I meet my clients at Bridge, I see similar kinds of luminosity along with the disabilities. I tell my son, "Everyone has something that makes life difficult. For you, it is autism. For another person, it is diabetes. For another person, it may be relationship problems." I don't think this makes him feel better, but perhaps it makes him feel less alone. I love that about Bridge. We go farther than traditional guardianship services to bridge the isolation of those we serve. It is a real honor to be part of God's plan in blessing the disabled.
