Father's 40 year dream secures a lifelong home for son with special needs
Teaser / Tailpiece story
A retired teacher in Clarkston, Michigan has fulfilled a promise he made nearly 40 years ago to ensure his son with special needs would always have a safe place to live.
After his son Drew was born with severe disabilities, Dick Moscovic became determined to create permanent accommodation where Drew would still be cared for when he was no longer able to look after him.
He founded the non profit Drew's Home of Clarkston, which now provides accessible housing for Drew and nine other adults with severe disabilities.
The project was made possible with support from Mike Hoeksema, a former student who helped oversee the renovations and now manages the home, along with donations from the local community.
