Testimonials

“I don’t know what I would have done without Melissa, my sister’s live-in support staff. It’s like Melissa knows my sister better than I do. She is very in tune with Doris.”

- Shirley Garrett, sister

“I had lived with my grandmother for so long, and I was scared about getting my own apartment with support staff. The staff were very encouraging and helped me to find the best apartment that was close to my family and my job.”

- Paris Price, supported individual

For the last 11 years, The Arc Baltimore has been a huge part of my son Tucker’s life. Throughout these years, we’ve had emergency situations where The Arc has always been there for us!

“The employees that I work with all help me and support me to get done the things I need to do. They are like my family. I love my job.”

- Donna Motley, supported employee

“Over the last ten years, the environment at PDP has provided employees from The Arc a chance to be part of the working community. It gives them a sense of worth and pride that their contributions play an integral part of our process and success. They form relationships with the staff and become part of the PDP family. Furthermore, it educates our staff that people with disabilities are also people with abilities. This is a lesson that we hope can translate across all communities.”

- Brian Hartman, PDP Group
