Teo is 20 years old, he came to Josiah’s House when we found him in a local Village with no family and no place to live. Teo has some special needs including hearing loss, and he is unable to speak, and he is on the autism spectrum which made it even more difficult for him to survive on his own. Teo has learned quickly to be a part of the Josiah’s House family. Teo is now happy, safe and healthy. He a school for special needs children and is learning sign language and ways to communicate. Teo loves to play soccer and can make a kite out of almost anything! He is transitioning into Hope Continues with his caretakers Cecilio and Delores.
The Josiah’s House Hope Continues program supports young men and women 18 years old and older. The program helps them with basic living expenses as well as keeps spiritual and emotional support in place while they finish high school. It also hopes to help them seek scholarships, jobs, and financial aid so they can further their education in a university or technical college if they desire.
