T
he VISION cover story is traditionally
written about one of our current children
by their parents. However, this being our 50th
Anniversary Annual Report publication we
wanted to highlight an alumni student. We
believe that all of our children have success
stories and we are honored to walk alongside
them on their journey. I am humbled to have this
opportunity to share Shawn’s story because I was
there to hear his remarks at Appreciation Night
in 2003.
Shawn Murinko is currently the Washington
State Department of Transportation’s Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance Officer
and was appointed by Governor Christine
Gregoire in 2006 to serve as a commissioner
to the Washington State Human Rights
Commission. Shawn is also a member of the
Olympian’s Diversity Panel and writes an opinion
column for the Olympian newspaper. Shawn is
the current Chair of the Washington Attorneys
with Disabilities group. Just think, who would
have ever dreamed in 1976 that
this boy, born with cerebral palsy
and using a wheelchair most of
his 34 years, would be working in
Olympia, WA focusing his career
on disability rights issues?
Shawn fully understands what
it means to “Keep the Dream
Alive.” In 1976 his parents, John
and Shirley Murinko, were left
in the tube
with more questions Josephine
than answers
from the medical community, as
often happens to parents with
children experiencing a developmental disability
or delay. Rather than getting bogged down,
Shawn shared, “My
parents did the only
thing they could
do. They trusted
their instincts and
forged their own
path. That path
started out with a
lot of hard work,
patience, and the
help and expertise
of the professionals
at the Spokane
Shawn receiving therapy in 1979
Guilds’ School &
Neuromuscular
Center (SGS&NMC). My parents gained the
tools to ensure that I could be successful and the
vision to look past the todays and into what life’s
possibilities were for my tomorrows.” This is their
family’s story.
Between the age of two ½ years and the
time he entered public school, Shawn attended
the SGS&NMC. He graduated from University
High School in the Spokane Valley in 1995 and
Central Washington University in 1999, with a
BA degree in Political Science. He went on to get
a law degree from Gonzaga University in 2003.
Shawn told me that his desire to
attend law school was motivated
by his aspiration to be an advocate
for others, in particular those who
experienced a disability.
Shawn said, “I never imagined
that I would graduate with a law
degree. I never imagined I would
have a wife who would be there to
see it happen. I never imagined
that I would see my own child come
into the world. These are things

VISION
August 2010
Executive Director’s Message
O
ur program is blessed to have so
many people and organizations
working together to provide such a
comprehensive and compassionate
effort on behalf of the children and
their families. The talent and level
of commitment is impressive. As you
review this edition of the VISION,
which is our Annual Report, I know
you will be struck by the effort and
its outcomes. The children enjoy a
concerted effort on behalf of their
community to help them in their growth
and development. Thank you, Spokane,
for fifty years of outstanding support!
One of our highlights in the past
several months has been the board
securing John Hancock of Deep Creek
Consulting to assist us in determining
the organization’s readiness to address
its facility needs. He has been
working with representatives of the
school and foundation boards, staff
and others on a committee called
the Vision Confirmation Committee.
The committee has reviewed the
organization’s goals and objectives and
its desire to serve more of the eligible
children in the community who do not
currently have a way to get services
here. We only serve 30% of the
children in the county who need us.
That means 70% can’t get in. We also
have a strong desire to assist our higher
education partners in training more
of their students in pediatric special
education, physical, occupational and
speech therapy, social work, nursing
and other allied service areas. The
school desires to become a research
center where its techniques can be
measured for effectiveness and adoption
by others. Northwest Architecture
Company (NAC), along with Bouten
Construction, has been hired to do a
predesign study. John Hancock thinks
we are ready and he has helped us to
move our facility initative along.
We owe a debt of gratitude to our
community. Each year we need to secure
30% of the income to run the school
from the private sector. We appreciate
our many government funders but 30%
is a big number. Our donors come
through for us and that speaks well for
our community. As we move ahead it is
clear that we will need to become even
more efficient at raising private dollars.
Many thanks to the thousands of people
in Spokane who care and understand
Opening Life’s Possibilities (continued from page 1)
unimaginable to many, but most of all
to me. When I look back on my life
thus far, I’m reminded of a time when I
signed up for band class. I showed up the
first day of class, drum in hand, in my
wheelchair, looking up onto a long flight
of stairs between me and the classroom.
Experiences like this one are painful, but
I’m grateful for them now. They serve to
remind me of how far I have come and
also of how far we have yet to go.”
This article would not be complete
without a word about his family. Shawn
will tell everyone that his proudest
accomplishments in life are that of being
a husband to his beautiful wife, Rebecca,
and the father to their amazing six year
old daughter, Grace. We here at the
SGS&NMC feel a part of Grace’s life as
Shawn has sent us pictures and kept us
updated on the many fun and exciting
adventures of life as a parent with a
darling daughter.
During the Appreciation Night
festivities in 2003, Shawn spoke the
following words. I repeat them here
because I believe they exemplify the
man Shawn has become. They are, and
were then, straight forward, realistic
and thought provoking. Shawn shared,
“Lessons learned along the way do not
come in a manual, but from the heart.
Therefore, dream with courage and
flexibility. Doing so will not only assure
all children’s tomorrows are infused with
growth and opportunity, it will also
equip all of us to deal with the arduous,
yet very rewarding, journey ahead for
all children and those that serve them.
Life after the Spokane Guilds’ School

enough to help. The outcome is positive
and shows that Spokane does love its
children and is willing to support them
and their families. Thanks to all of you
who are helping to KEEP THE DREAM
ALIVE!

will undoubtedly bring with it new
challenges, new triumphs, new joys, and
definitely new frustrations. None of this,
whether good or bad, easy or difficult,
means the dream is extinguished. But
for this dream to have the enduring and
lasting legacy it deserves, for the sake of
your child, and all children, you must
realize that a dream does not come to
fruition overnight. It comes through
years of trials and tribulations, and yes, a
lot of laughter along the way.”
With great appreciation and
gratitude, we sincerely thank Shawn
for reminding all of us about life’s
possibilities and the importance of
“Keeping the Dream Alive” for those
who have attended the SGS&NMC in
the past fifty years and for those who will
follow in the next fifty years.

Looking ahead to 50 more years of service!
Chris Olney, Board President
Spokane Guilds’ School &
Neuromuscular Center
A
s I finish up my 1st year as
the Spokane Guilds’ School
& Neuromuscular Center School
Board President, I stand in awe of
this magnificent organization which
is celebrating its 50th year serving
our community. Since its humble
beginnings in 1960, the SGS&NMC
has served literally thousands of
children and their families.
I would like to thank all those
who gave of their time and talents
this past year for the Penny Drive,
Annual Auction, Wendy’s Classic Golf
Tournament, and “Circle of Hope”
Benefit Breakfast. Each of these events
plays such an important part in being
able to continue to Keep the Dream
Alive! These events were all extremely
successful this past year because of your
support.
I am pleased to report that even in
these challenging economic times we
were able to finish our past school year
in the black. This would not have been
possible without the tremendous support
from our dedicated staff and community
supporters.
As we move into the future, our
biggest challenge will be addressing
our need to expand our vision and our
building. At one time we were able to
serve up to 90% of the children who
needed our services. The growth in the
number of children and families needing
our help has outpaced our ability to keep
up. Today we are only able to serve 30%

of the community’s need.
As a parent of a special needs
child who attended the school the first
three years of his life, I remember how
rough those first three years were even
with the help of the SGS&NMC. I
cannot imagine what we would have
done without the help and support we
received.
The school board, foundation
trustees & staff have begun taking
bold steps to address this next phase of
our growth. I consider it an honor to
have this opportunity to serve such an
amazing group of people as our Executive
Director, Dick Boysen, and the dedicated
staff of the Spokane Guilds’ School

positive energy and love every time I

for your dedication, hard work, and the

Dick
Boysen honored with the ECDAW Founder’s Award
ver 30 years ago, Dick Boysen
and four of his colleagues created
an organization called the Early
Childhood
Development Association
of Washington (ECDAW). Their
mission was to provide communication,
education and information about early
childhood development, to provide
support for existing early childhood
programs, and to foster development
of new programs. To celebrate Dick’s
leadership and vision as one of the
founders of ECDAW, and in recognition
of his contributions to the field of early
childhood development, Dick was
honored with an ECDAW Founder’s
Award at this year’s conference. Other
O
founders honored were Judi Moore from
the Boyer Children’s Clinic (deceased);
Rich Makowski who is now retired
from the Progress Center; Linda Gil
from DSHS; and Mimi Siegal from the
Kindering Center.
From the beginning, ECDAW has
worked to help pass legislation intended
to benefit children with disabilities. The
organization helped convince legislature
to pass the Preschool Mandate in 1982,
the Neurodevelopment Treatment Act
in 1989 and most recently the Wee Care
Bill in 2007. They also worked at the
federal level to help pass the Individuals
with Disabilities Act as it relates to
“natural environments” in 2004.
The association’s first Infant and
Early Childhood Conference, held in
1980, was attended by 50 people. This
year, thanks to the efforts of Dick
and the other ECDAW founders, over
1,600 early childhood development
professionals attended the 30th
conference from all over the Pacific
Northwest. Thank you, Dick, for your
continued commitment to children and
families, not just here in Spokane, but
all over our region. We are lucky to have
you leading the Spokane Guilds’ School
and Neuromuscular Center forward into
the next 50 years!

VISION
Staff
We’d like to introduce you to the
special people who devote themselves
to the daily operation of SGS&NMC
– the therapists, teachers,
management and staff. All-Star Staff
will appear in each issue of VISION
and will profile a different member of
our team every quarter.
A
s one of the youngest and one
of the smallest in her family,
Tricia learned early that relationships
make the difference. She is the sixth
of eight children and the youngest of
five girls. Growing up in Connecticut
with her siblings she learned how to get
along with different personalities as a
matter of survival. You can imagine the
sibling squabbles in such a large family
particularly when five girls are arguing
over who wore whose clothes and whose
turn it is to get into the bathroom to get
ready for a date.
Tricia was always fascinated by how
different her siblings were from her and
from each other despite having grown up
in the same household. She liked learning
why they reacted in certain ways and
what made them tick. She liked learning
ways to get along with everyone. This
generalized into a broader curiosity about
people in general and why they do the
things they do and how to help them
understand one another.
With a large family raised by a single
mom, they did not have much in material
things, but her mother always taught them
that the most important thing in life is
the people you love and your relationships
with them. These early lessons led
Tricia to seek a career in social work.
After graduating from the University of
Connecticut, Tricia moved to Boston
where she worked in a Mental Health
Unit of a general hospital providing
therapy to a diverse group of people. She
returned to the University of Connecticut
where she received a Masters degree in
Social Work in 1978.
Since that time she has worked in a
variety of social work settings, primarily
mental health working as a Licensed
Independent Clinical Social Worker
August 2010
Loves helping others to
understand one another
By Ken Daniel
providing therapy for adults, children,
and families. “One of the most enjoyable
elements of my work is that even after
many years it continues to be fascinating.
Although we all have commonalities,
every person is different and views life
from a slightly different angle. I still love
learning about why a person sees things
the way they do.”
It was while in graduate school
that she met her husband, Frank. It was
Frank’s work that led them to Spokane,
after a side trip to New Jersey. The couple
moved to Spokane 28 years ago with their
newborn baby girl, Jamie. They decided
that Spokane was a great place to raise a
family so the Goodmans stayed, adding
another little girl, Alison, to their family
three years later. Jamie, 28, remained
in Seattle after graduating from the
University of Washington and now works
in pharmaceuticals. Alison also graduated
from the University of Washington but
returned to Spokane. In June she received
her Master of Social Work from Eastern
Washington University and is now
working at a local mental health agency
providing therapy to children and adults.
Working in a program for pregnant
women is what led Tricia to her position
as a medical social worker (also referred to
as a Family Staff Liaison) at the Spokane
Guilds’ School & Neuromuscular Center
(SGS&NMC) in 1999. “What I saw in
these women was such an overwhelming
love and a strong desire to do the best
for their unborn child. It is such a
hopeful, optimistic time. I see this in
the SGS&NMC families also. Although
they may be heartbroken at first, they
are very resilient, focusing on doing what
their child needs. It is an honor to be a
part of that process by helping families
understand the early intervention world,
link them with resources, or just listen to
their story.”
A large part of the appeal of being
a social worker at the SGS&NMC is
working as part of a professional team
helping families with their child’s
special needs. Tricia finds hearing the
Tricia Goodman, Medical Social Worker
different views of each discipline and
watching their different approaches very
informative. As a part of the team her
role is to help ensure that these differing
views gel with the desires of the family. In
2008, Tricia had the opportunity to attend
an intensive training on the Circle of
Security which focused on understanding
and improving relationships between
young children and their families and
caretakers. This training has helped
her to understand how, despite our best
intentions, sometimes we misconnect with
those who are most important to us.
In her spare time Tricia enjoys golfing
with her husband or friends, reading,
and sending amusing pic messages to her
daughters. She enjoys traveling, especially
to Connecticut to visit her extended
family and Seattle to visit her daughter.
Tricia also likes to quilt and has recently
taken up yoga and knitting. Now that
their children have left, Tricia and Frank’s
focus of attention has shifted to their
irritable, ornery cat that is the subject of
many of those amusing pic messages.
As you can see, no matter what she’s
doing, Tricia gives a tremendous amount
of dedication, effort and enthusiasm. She
is a very special woman and, because
of her experience and knowledge, the
children truly benefit. We are lucky to
have her as part of our staff!

Your help is needed to ensure no child is ever turned away
A
t the Spokane Guilds’ School & Neuromuscular Center (SGS&NMC), every effort is made to
focus on our successes instead of our challenges. A child with cerebral palsy, for example, may
be unable to walk, but she is developing better coordination of her hands and fingers. Another child
may be unable to speak, but is learning sign language as a means of communication. With all of our
successes, we don’t always voice our needs and our concerns for the future.
As many as 85% of the families we serve at SGS&NMC fall at or below the 250% poverty
level. Did you know that even for families with insurance coverage, it is not unusual for the therapy
benefit to run out before the need for services expires? A family may have wonderful insurance
coverage, but frequently the therapy benefit is exhausted by July or August of the calendar year,
leaving several months where services are provided, but no fees are collected to pay for those
services. What that means is that a great deal of the services we provide for these kids and families
go uncompensated or are underfunded.
More and more, the SGS&NMC relies on the spirit of giving for which our donors are known.
Children like Keigan benefit
Because we never turn a family away due to their inability to pay, we rely on the generosity of
from the services provided at
our donors to ensure services are available for every child who needs them. We continue to work
the SGS&NMC.
diligently to build our Foundation’s fund in the hopes that one day the SGS&NMC will not be so
dependent on government funding sources. Until that time, however, and as we work to build that fund, your contributions are
what keep us moving forward. Your contributions provide the means for our program to continue. Your contributions ensure we
will never have to turn a family away because of their inability to pay for services. On behalf of our families and our kids, thank
you for your continued support.

felt “funny.” That day Liam and his
twin sister, Olivia, were born at only 26
weeks—14 weeks early! Olivia weighed 1
pound, 9 ounces. Liam weighed 1 pound,
15 ounces and his Apgar scores were
low. Four days before Christmas, Liam
suffered a brain bleed, stage 4 on one
side, stage 3 on the other. He was still on
a ventilator in the NICU at that time.
Luke and Chelsea both had a strong
sense that those who were caring for him
thought it would be best to just “pull the
plug.” But they couldn’t, and were even
more inspired not to do so by physician
Kara Arvin, who told them Liam had a
lot of brain tissue and 24 hours later, he
was breathing on his own. God bless Dr.
Arvin.
Next came the ventricle taps, pulling
fluid out of his skull daily to relieve
pressure on his brain until he weighed
enough to so that a shunt could be
put in. Following this surgery he had
another surgery to relieve the pressure
on his brain. This surgery resulted in
another brain bleed and this point he
was in critical condition. He did recover
and weeks later he weighed enough to
have his shunt placed. At 18 weeks, 5
days after the shunt was placed, he was
ready to come home. Sadly, leaving the
NICU and coming home didn’t mean
the worst was over. His shunt clogged
and Liam was once again fighting for his
life. A second shunt was placed to make
up for the clogged one.
In two and a half years of life this
precious child has experienced more than
most at this tender age. I could tell from
the start that Liam was a trooper. The
realities for Liam are great, to date he has
already experienced six brain surgeries,
had a feeding tube put in and is still
being fed through this G-Tube. Liam has
cerebral palsy which significantly affects
the left side of his body. The therapists at
the SGS&NMC are working hard to get
Liam accustomed to having food in his
mouth and working on the techniques
of the swallowing process will come
next. He is not walking yet, but Liam’s
therapists are hopeful he will start soon.
Liam also has Septo-Optic Dysplasia.
Simply put, his eyes do not work very
well but there is always hope for the
future and the progress that may occur.
As I observed this happy, smiling
little face it was hard to imagine all that
this precious little human being has
endured in such a short time. However,
Liam has a lot going for him. He has the
most devoted and loving parents and
extended family in the world. Liam now
weighs 25 pounds and is getting around
by scooting on his bottom. In particular,
he loves music as well as busses and
cars. His parents shared that when he is
falling asleep Liam says, “Sleepy, sleepy.”
Liam has devoted grandparents and
during visits to Grandma’s house he loves
to play on the piano. He can also sing
“Twinkle Twinkle.” Liam has been a part
of the SGS&NMC family since he was
only five months old. He is a real people
person and absolutely adores his twin
sister, Olivia.
Let’s talk about Liam’s SGS family.
I love it when moms and dads talk
over each other when I ask them about
their child’s experience at the school.
They take the question very seriously,
and a lot of the time, talk at the same
time. It must be because the therapists
and all the folks who work there change
their lives and their child’s life for the
A very happy Liam
better. “It’s unbelievable what he’s
learned. The therapists are caring and
compassionate, and passionate about
your child’s potential,” Chelsea told me.
Dad described his son’s therapists as
“a great bunch of people who do what
they do because they care and the last 6
months have been amazing. Liam learns
in chunks!” Both parents told me what
a happy little guy their son is. I saw it
myself when I met Liam. He has this aura
that exudes happiness.
On a side note, Luke and Chelsea
asked me if I had children. “Yes, Elliot,
Sam and Max,” I replied. Luke then said
“Is Elliot Wilde your son?” “Yes, he is.”
Turns out Elliot worked for Luke at a
fitness gym in Spokane. His compliments
about my son made me sit up a little
bit taller! Days later I talked to Elliot,
who is teaching in Japan and told him
I met Luke. He said “Luke’s the greatest
guy ever, and he loves that little guy of
theirs.” That makes two Wildes who
think these parents are amazing and
loving. It was an honor to meet them and
their son. He’s absolutely darling!
Each quarter Debra Wilde takes the time
to get to know one of our SGS&NMC
families and shares their story with our
readership. Debra has been involved
with the SGS&NMC for many years,
and served on its Board of Directors.

The More You Know…
By Rhonda Pawlicki
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)
is a chronic lung condition that often
affects premature and low birth weight
newborns. “Broncho” refers to the
airways that oxygen travels through
to reach the lungs. “Pulmonary” refers
to the air sacs, called aveoli, in the
lungs where oxygen is exchanged with
carbon dioxide. Finally, “dysplasia” is
any change that occurs to the structure
of a group of cells. In the case of BPD,
some sort of damage has occurred to
an infant’s lungs and/or airways. After
asthma and cystic fibrosis, BPD is the
most common chronic lung disease
found in children in the United States:
there are approximately 5,000 – 10,000
reported cases per year.
What causes BPD?
Infants are not born with BPD. It
may develop due to other circumstances,
such as being on respirator or catching a
respiratory infection. Most infants with
BPD are preemies whose lungs were
underdeveloped at birth to the point
where breathing must be assisted with a
respirator. The respirator uses pressure
to move air through a tube placed in the
infant’s airway via the nose or mouth.
The air infants receive on a respirator
often contains a higher concentration of
oxygen than room air. Current theory is
that pressure and higher concentration
of oxygen may damage and scar the
delicate tissues found in the lungs,
causing BPD.
BPD can also develop in an infant
who has experienced one or more
severe respiratory infections, such as
pneumonia.
What is the treatment for BPD?
While most infants will outgrow
BPD, recovery time can be lengthy.
There is no specific treatment, except
to decrease any interventions that may
be contributing to lung injury. As
the baby grows new lung tissue that
is normal, the overall function of the
respiratory system will improve. As the
lungs improve, weaning the infant off
of the ventilator can occur, with careful
monitoring of blood oxygen and carbon
dioxide.
It is very important during the
recovery period to keep these infants
away from anyone with any respiratory
illness. With their vulnerable
lungs, these infants are especially
susceptible to catching whatever germ
or viral infection is going around. It
is important to make sure anyone
handling the infant has clean hands.
It may even be necessary to for family
members to wear a mask during any
illnesses, until the infant gets stronger.
How does BPD affect development?
The stresses of being on a respirator
and then recovering from BPD can
affect the infant’s growth rate, although
this result can vary depending on the
severity of the BPD and the presence
of any other medical issues. Infants
with BPD also need a higher intake of
calories than other babies the same age
because they work harder to breathe and
to feed. It is important to make sure
they have the energy they need to deal
with this extra work as well as to keep
growing and meeting developmental
milestones. With the proper care and
attention, many infants with BPD have
a good prognosis.
With so many developmental
disabilities, delays, and rare
syndromes, it’s not surprising
that many people are
overwhelmed. For that very
reason, we have created “The
More You Know”, a column
that focuses on a different
diagnosis in every issue of
Vision to aid understanding
and address the basic
questions many have never
had the opportunity to ask.
Congratulations to the following members of the SGS staff who celebrated anniversaries during the months of May, June, and
July. Your commitment to the SGS&NMC’s children and their families is inspirational.

offers a win-win

the operation of the School,
thereby helping local kids with
developmental disabilities and
their families. Thanks to the
many generous donors who
designate the SGS&NMC when
donating vehicles. The following
individuals made donations
during the months of July 1,
2009, through June 30, 2010:

eaving a Legacy:
Building a solid future
For the kids of tomorrow
By Bobbie League
W
ho would have ever predicted
five decades ago that
the Spokane Guilds’ School &
Neuromuscular Center (SGS&NMC)
would be going strong fifty years
later? Who would have ever
imagined that thousands of families
and children would walk through
the SGS&NMC doors looking for
answers, services and support? It is
truly an amazing story of dedication
and care, love and support,
perseverance, flexibility and courage.
An idea born from caring individuals
that wanted to make a difference in
their community and a community
that needed their idea to change
the lives of families, especially the
lives of children who experienced a
developmental disability or delay.
We are grateful for the women
who organized a local affiliate of
the Washington Association for
Retarded Children in 1956 to begin
this amazing journey and build this
outstanding agency. The first guild
was called the Robbie Richards Guild
in honor of the nephew of one of the
founders, Shirlee Personeus. I think
I can speak for all of us that have
had the good fortune of working at
the SGS&NMC. Each day is filled
with new adventures, unbinding
possibilities and limitless expectations
of what lay ahead for the precious
children we serve.
Once again it has become very
evident that the Guild ladies were a
group of individuals willing to think
outside the box to guarantee the
success of their goal. We salute and
thank all of the Guild members that
gave generously of their time and
resources to make it happen.
Today two Guilds remain active,
the FREON Guild (“Friend”
in Greek) and the Angels in
Disguise Guild (AID) both
founded in 1968. Within the
history of the SGS&NMC
there were four additional
guilds that served the school;
Helping Hands Guild started
in 1957, Shamrock in 1960,
Tommy Guild chartered in 1964 and
LUV Guild in 1971, in all a total of
seven guilds. 2010 has been a reflective
year for us talking about our past,
and pouring over archival photos
and documents. It has been a year of
emphasizing our 50th Anniversary in
all our events.
Fifty years has been a time of
great accomplishment and with
that accomplishment comes loss.
Throughout the years we have lost
some of our precious children and
alumni students. We have also
lost some of the beloved women
that worked tirelessly to make the
SGS&NMC a continued reality. In
recent months we have lost Selma
Sonntag of the Robbie Richards Guild,
Cathy Stohs of the Angels in Disguise
Guild and Caroline Jean Hopf of the
Helping Hands Guild. We also want to
recognize all those current and alumni
guild members that moved away from
Spokane throughout the years and
who may have passed from this earth
without our knowledge.
We continue to dream about the
next fifty years for the SGS&NMC.
Beginning in 1960 our first location
of the school was in the Westminster
Congregational Church here in
Some of the founding Guild members
Spokane. In 1982 we moved to our
current location in the Garland
Elementary school building owned
by Spokane School District #81. If
things work out we will forge ahead
with dreams of a new, bigger and
better facility to serve twice as many
children as we are physically able to
serve today. Our successful fifty year
history has been possible because of
our extended Spokane Guilds’ School
family, friends and benefactors who
are leaving their legacy and dreaming
with us. We will never be able to
adequately thank you enough for your
generosity in taking us this far and
for “Keeping the Dream Alive” for the
children we serve today and in the
years to come

Anderson, current Guild Members

Meet DeMarcus…
When DeMarcus
smiles at you, he
lights up the room
around him. No
one here at the
SGS&NMC is immune
to his grin. He was
born on April 14,
2009, eight weeks
before his due date,
and had to spend
his first two months of life in the
hospital NICU. During his stay, he
was diagnosed with Down syndrome.
DeMarcus has been coming to the
SGS&NMC since he was just a few
months old. He receives physical,
occupational and speech therapies,
all of which are helping to give him
a great head start at life. He is
now 15 months old and is working on
learning how to walk and to say a few
words.
His mother, Shameka says “You
can say he has Down syndrome, but
Down syndrome definitely doesn’t
have him!”
He has two older brothers and
an older sister who all watch out
for him. All three of his siblings are
committed to helping him overcome
his challenges. His father, Dave,
spends countless hours with him
on various strengthening skills,
playing with him and just letting him
know that he is daddy’s boy. He’s
a pretty active kid, but taking care
of DeMarcus is a family affair, and
a child couldn’t ask for a better
support team!
