The Agnes Story

A modest white clapboard and red brick Williamsburg, Virginia in the 4989 Hickory Signpost Road, off John Tyler Highway farm house on a suburban street nestles, fronted. Some dried leaves scattered about the yard sign that the transition season, the white oak and ash trees are still holding their cards. All the light, looks orderly on the day of early October, as we look tired Ford Econoline van and a pickup truck that is clearly seen better days next to the park follow the road back home . Brings no answer a knock at the front door, but the rear deck is a large wave to come in the kitchen. Martha's Place, a residential home for adults with disabilities are welcome.

In this family, physical and intellectual disabilities, autism and impairments that need support to cope with the daily challenges of individuals living with people with them. A tall, strongly built woman, her brown hair tied in a floral kerchief that matches her caftan, we have a warm handshake and beaming smile, which greets his eyes with fatigue in the mix. He bids us to take a seat on a kitchen counter stools. He, however, alights only briefly, as the case be resolved in a short night, be prepared for the morning, a day of food and is organized in a way.

Senior Agnes Nairobi, native from a family of eight children. Jolly Pond neighborhood that makes up her first home for disabled adults, his cloistered, contemplative world away from the original intent of joining the Dominicans. A trip home, his father, "do you" encourage him to St. Francis (LSOSF) led to the Little Sisters. At this point, Rose, a young new game client in the room, black sneakers, bustles whitelaced, is to know when the barber wants her braids. Sr. Agnes, the first of a dozen times, patience is all work and activities that must be accomplished before the first show will be like. Rose hugs him and sits for a few minutes before repeating the questions below. It is her birthday present, and he is particularly concerned.

Without pause, her spiritual and professional path to senior Agnes season compares to "a plant, should be resolved, and the crop but first you must prepare and make rain;. And do not forget weeding." When ready, the University of Rochester and National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID), where he lived with the Sisters of Mercy took part in, and Gallaudet University in Washington DC, where his field of special education background, he decided that the best residential homes for people with disabilities through the opening to serve God and his community. This perception has often been a thorny process. Had to overcome financial and visa barriers. His passion always was not adopted by others. "Some people say I'm crazy," he chuckles, "but they came around eventually, perhaps reluctantly." She also says she prayed a lot.

Five homes with more to come, the complexities of managing care, senior people, "Agnes has expanded the circle of knowledge with their own means. Compassionate and enlightened are wise people, mortgage, and legal advice is offered. She rolls her eyes in the period and interest rates, the expertise of others perceive her deep gratitude. His vision is once again to East Africa. Economic globalization, but has brought other problems as well. As he recalls his youth in his face saddens, visited the neighbors casually back and forth. "There are now fences, people are busy, the next generation down the road is very rough."

Seeking a resolution of his relentless optimism, and so turns towards helping children. It is like planting a new crop. Senior U.S. and its culture to her friends' Agnes of understanding with excitement, there are plans to build an orphanage."The soul is what we have?" Should he asks.

Senior Agnes roots that has been brought to understand the larger community. Residents of Jolly Pond, Martha's Place, Hickory Signpost, Lwanga Home St. Charles, Lwanga "G" Home, Seaton House, and St. Michael's Day Support Program is our neighbor. They are different in institutions, but people get the best of my ability. Sr. Agnes, Diocese of the other sisters, and those who work with these individuals are their advocates, the cooking and cleaning for transport, providing an abundance of support from daily logistics. They often nurse, teach, or listen. They vacations, favorite TV show, and remember birthdays. Sr. Agnes and community models that inspire success comes from the action. He has taken a dream and made it a success with her strong faith and determination. Barber now has come, and Rose will get his braids.
