Safelite’s Story

The Safelite Long Island team supports local families through two annual SCO Family of Services programs that closely align with Safelite’s commitment to provide safety, stability, and a sense of belonging to the foster care community: our Holiday Wishlist and Back-to-School initiatives.

The Holiday Wishlist initiative supports families during the holiday season by fulfilling specific gift requests for children and caregivers, helping to ensure they can experience a joyful and meaningful holiday.

The Back-to-School initiative focuses on preparing children for a successful school year by providing essential items such as backpacks, school supplies, and age-appropriate resources.

Safelite supports both initiatives through generous donations, which help us purchase and distribute these much-needed items. Their support plays a vital role in helping us meet the needs of the families we serve during these meaningful times of the year.

Partnering with an organization that so powerfully uplifts communities reflects our shared belief that through fostering change together, everyone can overcome challenges with a clear road ahead.

Meet Wilfred Paul

Direct Support Professional

Individual Residential Alternative

Wilfred Paul has worked for SCO for the last 10 years. He provides exceptional support, going above and beyond to meet the needs of the people in our care.

If Wilfred sees a task that needs to be done, he’ll jump right in and do it – cleaning, mopping, changing linen – there is no task too big or too small. He even came in on one of his off days to weed in the residence’s backyard.

Wilfred is adored and respected by the individuals in our care and his team members alike. He displays a calm demeanor, and he is always ready to assist whenever necessary. He is a natural problem-solver, coming up with solutions for any situation that may arise, and all employees at the IRA are comfortable seeking his guidance.

Wilfred Paul is a perfect example of what a Direct Support Professional should be.
