Bad News, Good News Time

First the Bad. We never heard back from Lowe's after Shawn's job interview, and he still is not working. Also due to the recent changes in Tax laws, ABLE account donations are no longer tax deductible under the estate tax. We were hoping to get an ABLE account set up for Shawn so that friends and family could donate directly to an ABLE account and be able to claim the deduction under their Estate Taxes, but that is not possible now. 

So here's the Good News. Shawn was accepted for the second session of the Summer Bridge program. He will only be attending for the month of July. Which means his cost for the program is only $2500 instead of the $5000 we were expecting. Shawn is very excited to be going back to the Summer Bridge Program. His sister recorded video when she read him the acceptance letter. You can view it here. 

That's all for now. Please keep Shawn in your thoughts during the month of July as I know the program will be working hard on finding him meaningful employment. 

Thank you for caring and sharing in Shawn's Journey to independence.
Jim, Kat, Shawn, and Aly
