Our mission is to promote community inclusion and the teaching of life skills that will enable our clients to become more self supporting. In each of our programs we strive to enhance the lives of individuals through our commitment to meeting the needs of our clients and their families.
Born and raised in Safford, Arizona, Kenda (“Kenders” to her friends) is a vibrant spirit with a passion for life. She’s known for her outspoken nature – she always speaks her mind. Spending time with her horse and family brings her immense joy, and she finds creative expression through resin art. “Being with my family” is Kenda’s “happy place,” a source of constant comfort and support.
Kenda remains incredibly positive in daily life. “Finding the motivation to get out of my wheelchair” is a daily hurdle, but her determination shines through. Her spirit is evident in her dream: to help handicapped children experience the thrill of horseback riding.
Inspired by her brother Yancy, Kenda approaches life with resilience and a zest for living. Her best friend would describe her as “an active, fun, loving young lady,” a characterization that perfectly captures her essence.
Kenda’s story is a testament to her strength, her unwavering spirit, and belief in a brighter future. We are thrilled to have her as part of our Project Insight Family.
Born in Redondo Beach, California, Ann’s life changed when her family moved to a tiny town of just 270 people. She loved the simplicity of country life and cherishes those memories. In December 2023, she moved to Pima, Arizona, to care for her aging parents. Ann’s father, originally from Pima, wanted to return to his roots, and she was honored to support them.
Adjusting to a new town can be tricky, but a casual chat with the local postal worker opened a door. “I asked her if she liked her job. She didn’t, but she mentioned Project Insight and gave me Yolanda’s number. One call turned into an interview, and the rest is history.”
For her, the people at Project Insight make it more than just a job. “Yolanda is amazing, the training is great, and my member and her other provider are wonderful. We support each other and make a great team. I feel so lucky to be here.”
This work has also been life-changing. “I’ve learned not to judge or make assumptions. It’s made me a better, more compassionate person.” That aligns with her admiration for her father, her hero. “He’s wise, kind, generous, funny, and my biggest cheerleader. Caring for him now, as he deals with aging and dementia, is a privilege. He still expresses gratitude daily, and that inspires me.”
Her daily routine is all about balance and self-care. She prays, plans meals, and exercises; habits that helped her lose 40 pounds in six months. “My favorite word is progress because it reminds me I’m not stagnant. I’m always learning and evolving.”
In her free time, she loves painting watercolors, reading, and gardening. These hobbies bring her peace and joy, giving her the balance she values so much.
Her story is one of kindness, growth, and dedication; not just to her family but also to the community she’s found through Project Insight.
