Curtis is an amazing young man whose journey is an inspiration.
Curtis has faced challenges his whole life, diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, and Global Developmental Delay. Raised by his grandmother, who died when he was 10, he now makes his home with his sister and her two children. Despite these obstacles, he surpassed expectations with unwavering determination. Curtis's empathy and artistic talent shine. He helps his sister care for his nephews after their father's passing. His dream is to publish his “Polly Puffin” card and someday have a career in animation and video game design.
As part of re:MADE's Take and Make Program, participants are encouraged to use a strength or talent to overcome barriers. In Curtis's example, he has a gift of drawing and animation. We would like to publish his card and sell it for him to provide extra income for him and his family.
