Janeese Goldman’s Story

Janeese Goldman founded Karla’s Kompanions in honor of her late mother, as a way to give back to the community. Karla’s Kompanions is a valued partner of SCO, supporting several initiatives that directly benefit the individuals and families we serve.

Most recently, Karla’s Kompanions donated supplies to last year’s Back-to-School Drive, helping ensure students had the materials they needed to start the school year prepared and confident. They also adopted our Morris Koppelman Early Childhood Education Center by sponsoring their Holiday Wishlist, generously providing holiday gifts for the children and families in the program.

“We discovered SCO while looking for ways to give back to the community and were connected to one of the SCO staff members. After learning about the many ways SCO supports such a wide range of individuals in diverse situations, we felt a strong connection to its mission—one that closely aligned with the causes that were so important to my mother during her life. Being able to support our local community in any way we can, and to help bring joy, motivation, love, a sense of worth, and support toward success in life, means so much to us.” – Janeese Goldman, Karla’s Kompanions

Brayden’s Story

Meet Brayden — an active, kind, and talented high school student who is thriving through SCO’s Community Habilitation and Respite programs!

With support from his Community Habilitation Specialist, Brayden is building independence every single day. He’s learning to do his own laundry, prepare simple snacks, make purchases, improve his health routines, and is even learning to travel independently using the SCAT bus with support and guidance. His family, friends, and staff are incredibly proud… but most importantly, Brayden is proud of himself.

Brayden has explored so many exciting places with his Community Habilitation Specialist— beaches, museums, fairs, amusement parks, the aquarium — making memories everywhere he goes.

Through the Drop‑In Lounge Respite Program, he’s formed new friendships, found joy in games and activities, and grown more confident socially. With staff support, Brayden and his friends even plan outings together such as bowling, mall trips, lunch dates, and museum visits.

Brayden truly embodies the spirit of A World of Opportunity — discovering new skills, new friendships, and new experiences every day.
