June Family Caregiver of the Month!

by Information & Resources

Support, Inc. has had the pleasure of working with Family Caregiver, Karina Desantiago, and her son Victor for a few years now. Recently Victor graduated from high school and is now starting a new job due to the amazing support that Karina offers. Not only is she kindhearted and sweet with her son, but she is also caring for everyone on Victor’s team. She is a strong advocate for his needs and safety and ensures that doors and opportunities stay open for him. It’s been wonderful working with both Karina and Victor, and we look forward to seeing what adventures lay ahead for them.

Karina, you have been working through a lot of changes these past few months with Victor graduating from LS-ACE, aging out of some services, his birthday coming up, and his new job on top of day-to-day life. Victor couldn’t be happier to start working at King Scoopers and Happy Day Plant. He is working to make his own money and try new things after graduation. Karina, you have worked so hard to help all of this become a reality and have always encouraged him in all that he wants to do in life. Congratulations to you both and a happy early birthday to Victor! Thank you so much, Karina, for all that you do and congratulations on being nominated as our June Family Caregiver of the Month!!!

🌟 Provider of the Month: Kristi Martinez

A Foundation of Love, Dedication, and Unbreakable Commitment

We are proud to celebrate Kristi Martinez as PCR’s Provider of the Month — a recognition that reflects not just her extraordinary efforts, but the deep and enduring relationships she has built through years of love and unwavering service.

Kristi is more than a provider; she is the heart and backbone of her household. She recently stepped fully into the role of primary support for the home, and she has done so with remarkable grace and resilience. Whether coordinating critical agency needs, managing complex schedules, or performing the demanding tasks of her personal life, Kristi meets every challenge head-on — and always with heart.

In a time of transition, Kristi has ensured that both Cathy and Kelly continue to receive every opportunity to thrive in their community. She advocates fiercely for their needs, supports their goals, and remains steadfast in making sure their lives remain rich with dignity, connection, and purpose. Her commitment ensures that their options are never limited, and that every day includes access to joy, growth, and community inclusion.

Her collaboration with PCR staff is a shining example of partnership. Kristi communicates with clarity, responds with urgency, and always prioritizes thoughtful planning. Her proactive approach and genuine care make our jobs easier, and more fulfilling.

Having served as the RPC for this household, I had the privilege of experiencing Kristi’s warmth and sincerity firsthand. She welcomed me not only into the home, but into family traditions, celebrations, and the fabric of their daily lives. That openness extends to every new staff member — Kristi meets each person with kindness, trust, and an unwavering willingness to do whatever it takes to support her family’s wellbeing.

Kristi’s story is one of strength, sacrifice, and unshakable love. She is the kind of provider who reminds us of the power of compassion in action — and we are so lucky to have her as part of the PCR family.

Congratulations, Kristi — thank you for being the glue, the heart, and the example of what true support looks like.

February Family Caregiver of the Month!

by Information & Resources

We would like to congratulate and nominate Kalyn Berghoefer, for Family Caregiver of the month! Kalyn moved to Colorado last year to become the family caregiver to her younger brother, Jack. Being able to witness the bond between Kalyn and Jack is incredibly special. According to their Residential Coordinator, Kalyn is one of the sweetest and most kind-hearted people we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know. She advocates for Jack and makes sure his voice is the loudest in the room, always emphasizing that his choice matters. It’s been wonderful to see their relationship shine in their time with Support Inc.

One of the biggest events that Jack looks forward to is his triathlon, but he had to miss it this past year due to being sick. Kalyn and the family knew how important this was for Jack, so they created a triathlon specifically for him and he was able to participate while they cheered him on. Kalyn is always coming up with ways to celebrate Jack’s accomplishments and making sure he doesn’t miss out on the activities he loves. Kalyn, you have the sweetest heart and offer unwavering support to not only Jack, but everyone around you. Congrats on being nominated as our February Family Caregiver of the month!!!

Lily Moves to a Host Home!

by Information & Resources

We want to congratulate one of our individuals in services! This past month Lily moved from a Family Caregiver (FCG) setting to a Host Home setting.

Lily has had the goal of moving from her parents home for some time and now it is truly happening!! Lily and her FCG worked on money management, how to navigate her work schedule and both had made lists on what was important to each of them when finding a Host Home. Lily goes to a Day Program where she found a very interested Direct Support Professional who was hoping to become her Host Home Provider (HHP) full time. After a few meetings we quickly realized what a great fit this would be! The soon to be HHP asked her questions, but was also mindful to address any concerns and questions from Lily and her FCG. The HHP and Lily were very excited to see Lily’s goal of moving out of her family home was coming to fruition. This transition went so smoothly, Lily and her family had everything packed and ready to go before we arrived to help. They were clearly very organized. Lily wants to gain more independence and her FCG was very supportive of helping her achieve this goal. Lily’s new HHPs showed up to help her load her belongings in their truck. In a time that could have been stressful, this process was simple and encouraging to see Lily being put first in her goal of reaching more independence. The FCG followed us to the HHP’s home and helped unload Lily’s belongings, hugged her and said call me if you need anything. It was heartwarming to see how supportive both the FCG and HHP’s were in this transition. Congratulations to Lily and all for accomplishing this goal!

DM4 would like to announce Provider Elly Daly for Host Home Provider of the Month! Elly Daly is a phenomenal provider for our PRS Selena Silva.

Even though Selena is unable to express what she wants or needs using words, Elly is able to understand her through her emotions and specific cues. Elly is organized and keeps an extensive record of Selena`s care.  Recently there had been a change to the team members and within 24 hours Elly updated her binder of information, so she knows who to contact for Selena`s needs. Elly works great with Selena`s family and Guardian. Guardian says “Elly is an awesome provider. She is very caring and thorough with the care she gives. She keeps me updated on any changes and events”

 

This past summer Elly took Selena on her dream vacation to SeaWorld in San Diego and Selena had a blast! Elly says at first she was worried on how Selena would do on the plane but she loved people watching and being out on their adventure! Thank you, Elly, for all that you do and the positive impact you make in Selena`s life and her loved ones.
