A TRUE “JOY RIDE”

Prior to finding Lifehouse, Roger had challenges with his living situation, often having no place to live. Through support from childhood friends Russell & Sarah Ponsford and the North Bay Regional Center, Roger found his way to Lifehouse. With help from his support team at Lifehouse, Roger was able to secure and move into his own apartment in Santa Rosa.

In the midst of the pandemic, Roger was isolated with no transportation and had difficulty managing everyday tasks. A bicycle was donated to Lifehouse and Roger was the perfect recipient.

Now, with the help of Lifehouse staff, his friends, and his new bike, Roger is more successful and more independent than ever. He loves to hop on his bike to buy groceries, go to the bank, meet people for lunch, and all of the other things his new transportation has afforded him. Roger’s future is brighter than ever, and it shows on his almost always smiling face.

Thank you to Casey & John Leones for donating the Raleigh Upright Hand Cycle to Lifehouse!
