TRANSCRIPT
“My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest.” - Isaiah 32:18
JT’s StoryJT lived with his mother and brother. When their mother passed away, his sister became the guardian of JT and their young brother while caring for her own child. She is ten years younger than JT. While juggling caregiving duties, work and nursing school, sometimes his sister had to leave JT at home by himself. “It was a very stressful time,” she said. “I didn’t want JT staying by himself because of the safety risk and not being able to socialize with others.”
She learned about Aldersgate at the Oaks through a family friend. JT moved into the Orangeburg home in 2020. He is thriving from receiving the attention and care he needs. “The staff are loving and kind,” she said. “Aldersgate has been great for JT, me and our family.”
JT enjoys playing video games, Wii and air hockey with his housemates and the staff. He remains close to his sister and looks forward to their daily chats. JT enjoys sports. His favorite teams are Clemson, the Carolina Panthers, the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Braves. JT says he enjoys living at Aldersgate and hanging out with his housemates.
