We wanted to give a big thank you to the Roswell Woman’s Club! RWC’s funding has been instrumental in the launch and success of our Compass Overnight Program. We are deeply grateful for your support, which has allowed us to create a safe and therapeutic environment where our clients can thrive and work toward their individual life goals. Corey Barbre, Compass Overnight Provider, shares the transformative nature of the overnight experience. "As the program leader, I have enjoyed seeing clients celebrate their successes and share their creativity through hobby and leisure activities, recipes, and community outings. Clients can experience the fullness of living independently but in the safe space of having a trusted individual alongside them. There is no greater feeling than celebrating alongside clients as they meet and exceed their personal life goals." We look forward to continuing our partnership and updating you on the ongoing success and expansion of our programs at Jacob’s Ladder. Thank you for your investment in the lives of our clients and the community we serve. #TJLG #RoswellWomansClub #Compass #Philanthropy #Giving #JacobsLadderSchool

At Jacob's Ladder, we’re inspired by the strength and perseverance veterans demonstrate—a reminder of the resilience we nurture in every client we serve. Just as our veterans have overcome challenges with determination and courage, we believe in unlocking the potential within every individual, regardless of the obstacles they face. This spirit of hope, truth, and love fuels our work with the neurodiverse community every day. To our veterans and their families: thank you for your service and the sacrifices you’ve made for our freedom. Your legacy inspires us to make a difference, one life at a time. ???? #VeteransDay #HonorOurHeroes #ResilienceInAction #TheJacobsLadderGroup
