Grateful for another opportunity to grow through DSP training at OADSP Lighthouse 2026. Every class, conversation, and lesson is a reminder that knowledge builds confidence, compassion, and stronger support for the individuals we serve every day.
Rising up in knowledge means rising up in purpose, patience, and passion. Proud to continue learning, growing, and making a difference alongside so many dedicated DSPs. 💙✨ Lighthouse Cove (OADSP)

Out shopping for Bingo prizes and a night of painting reminds me how powerful the simple things can be.
A small prize, a shared laugh, a splash of color on a canvas—these moments build connection, joy, and community.
Grateful for days like this where creativity and kindness come together. 🎨💛

Even the rain couldn’t rain on our Fun Express adventures today. One group spent the day exploring and making memories at the The Columbus Zoo, while others headed to Cardo's Pizza to enjoy great food, laughter, and fun games together. No matter the weather, smiles, friendships, and unforgettable moments always shine through. 🌧️➡️☀️

Fresh air, creativity, exploration, and giving back made for a wonderful day. ❤️ We enjoyed a refreshing stroll through the neighborhood, designed soaps and art beads, and painted our blessing box to place out in the community. Another group explored the Antique Emporium while enjoying ice cream and games. Our evening services then came together to cook and deliver meals to our friends at Seeds of Hope. A day filled with smiles, memories, and kindness. 🌟
