This week, Joey reached an incredible milestone during his very first swim with Eloma Care — and it was a moment filled with courage, joy, and connection.

Joey joined his friends and sister for a community outing built around confidence-building and trying something new. From the start, he had one clear goal: to swim with his sister, Megan. The idea felt a little daunting at first, but Joey didn’t shy away. With gentle encouragement from his support team, he took a deep breath, trusted himself, and stepped into the water.

What happened next was truly inspiring. Joey’s initial nerves quickly transformed into excitement. With each small success — floating with the help of noodles, kicking confidently, and exploring the water at his own pace — his smile grew bigger and brighter.

Joey’s experience is a beautiful reminder that courage isn’t the absence of fear; it’s the willingness to try. And on this day, Joey showed just how powerful that courage can be.

We’re so proud of you, Joey — and we can’t wait to see where your confidence takes you next!
