City of Breese issued the following announcement on Dec. 28.
Thank You for Making a Difference in Luscious' Life!
Six years ago when DeLawrence ”Luscious” Meeks first came to Community Link he was a man of few words and mumbled often making him hard to understand.
Luscious possessed a few behavioral concerns and was incontinent. Due to the constant care and love from staff, he is now independent when using the restroom, can write his own name, and has begun speaking much more clearly.
Most recently, Luscious was placed in the “Go Group” at Community Link’s Metro facility and began volunteering at the Belleville Food Pantry. Initially, staff was apprehensive about him volunteering but after a few visits they proudly reported that Luscious was amazing and needed less assistance then they ever thought he would.
His state-appointed guardian came to Community Link’s office and stopped in his tracks when Luscious smiled and said “Hello Mr. Parker.” Needless to say Luscious’ guardian is very pleased with his progress.
Because of donors like you, the staff at Community Link has been able to make an impact on his life and will continue to help him open more doors.
Thank you for helping make a difference in Luscious’ life!
If you've given to our 2018 year-end campaign, thank you. If not, please don't wait -- make your special end of year gift today to ensure that Community Link can continue to provide the support that is needed to people in our community.
Happy New Year!
