Whether you’ve been directly impacted by the organization or simply admire its mission, we would love to hear from you. Simply share your journey that led you to STARS and why it’s a memory you will cherish for a lifetime. Then take a stroll down memory lane and see all the other memories and photos shared by others who have the same sentiment as you do.
Aaron joined the work center crew in mid-2006 and he has been at STARS three days a week ever since that date. Aaron likes to share his love of aircraft, especially helicopters, and classic rock music with staff and co-workers. He is especially proud of the work he does sorting blood sample vials for St. Jude’s Hospital. He often comments that he is proud to be helping with the mission to save children’s lives. Our family truly appreciates all the support given to Aaron by STARS throughout the years. Happy 50th Anniversary
My oldest daughter, Wendy Springborn, has been involved with Stars for many, many years. When my youngest daughter gave birth to Katelyn, who has Down Syndrome, in California and lived there for over twenty years, the family hoped that, at some point of time, they would move to Scottsdale so that Katie could be involved in the Osborn program. God answered our prayers and she has been employed there very successfully for a few years. This program has given her a meaningful job, a source of pride and confidence, a way to earn her own money. Thank you to one and all who are and have been involved in this wonderful program.
Our family has been receiving in-home services for our daughter through HCBS for the past several months. This attendant care has given us some much needed relief for 3 evenings per week. They have also provided us with respite care allowing us to get away for a few days. Their Direct Support Providers are very well screened and trained and we feel confident having them care for our daughter in our home. This extra support has been very beneficial to our family.
Jackson’s work ethic and dedication has been extraordinary… It is a joy to work with him and I look forward to seeing him each day. He has become part of the U-Haul family.
