"The foundation of Tiffany's busy life is her home and all the opportunities that presents" - Linda Dawe, Tiffany's Mother

Tiffany is a painter who creates, exhibits, and sells her work, volunteers at an art gallery, and is active in the local artists guild. She sings in her church choir. She swims, works out at the gym, and dances Zumba. She loves being part of the world around her, and her home is the place she returns to with happiness every single day. It's her sanctuary and a reflection of herself. 


Alongside her social life, Tiffany enjoys quiet moments listening to mindful meditation or painting at her easel. Her home supports the rhythm of her busy life. 

If you stopped by Tiffany's apartment, chances are you'd be welcome inside. She values having friends over, sharing meals, and spending time with the people who matter most to her. It's the kind of life many people hope for — a place to call home, meaningful friendships, and the independence to make everyday choices. For Tiffany, building that life has been a journey shaped by family, community, and one powerful vision.

Tiffany loves being part of what's happening around her. Chatting with neighbours and hosting friends, she brings warmth and energy into every space she enters. 

The community she lives in grew from a shared vision over a decade ago, when families imagined futures where their children would live full ordinary lives in a broader community. The families believed in individualized support. They chose not to share support workers, ensuring that Tiffany's life would always be centred  on her own routines and relationships. Friends and neighbours were never hired as support workers, because their relationships were meant to grow in the same way everyone's do, through shared experiences and time.

Tiffany's home is more than a place to live. It's a space that gives her room to paint, welcome friends, and simply be herself. Open, artistic, grounded, and full of life, it reflects the thoughtful, intentional life she has built.
