Samuel was a huge Washington football fan!

Samuel Epps


With the heaviest of hearts, we share the passing of our beloved friend, Samuel. He brought so much joy into our lives, known for his easygoing nature, infectious smile, and sweet spirit. Samuel had a special gift for spreading happiness with just a glance.


He loved watching football (Go Washington!), being on the trampoline at RCIG, going on pontoon rides with Beyond Boundaries, enjoying music and dance parties, and cherishing moments with his family. If there was a themed party, he was always excited to dress up alongside his wonderful caregivers. With unwavering enthusiasm, he embraced life, always eager for new adventures and experiences.


As we navigate this immense loss together, let us hold onto the beautiful memories he gifted us and find comfort in the love of the community he cherished so deeply.



Members celebrated the Chinese New Year of the Snake!



Look at the creativity in creating their snake!

This month Nest members enjoyed a Soup-er Bowl party with lots of yummy soups to try and various Adaptive Adventures like rock climbing with Beyond Boundaries, River City Inclusive Gym, and the Virginia History Museum. Even when the snow decided to join the party, we didn’t skip a beat. We quickly shifted to virtual classes and kept the fun rolling with a super cool home scavenger hunt!
