Heard from…

Daniel Raffelock, now in his fifth year at Pathfinder Village in Edmeston, New York. His mother, Debbie, describes it as “a replica colonial village within a village” for children and adults with Down Syndrome. Daniel’s dog, Angel, made her first trip to the village to surprise Daniel (left), shown here with his best friend Lee.
