Our group home resident fosters a love of sports and painting through his passion for art.
Jack is a 34 year old man who has been living in an Easterseals UCP Group Home in Lincolnton, NC for the past five years. He’s a big Tarheel fan and he loves to paint. Jack also has multiple developmental disabilities, including cerebral palsy, but he doesn’t let that slow him down.
