Thomas' Story

Pic 3Thomas DeStefano had the opportunity to visit with his brother, Mario, in Peabody on March 12. The two brothers had not seen each other in over 10 years due to medical reasons preventing attempted visits. Thomas was accompanied by his house mate and Arc staff up to Peabody. He had the opportunity to see the community where his brother lives and then enjoyed a lunch at a local restaurant. Thomas said "I felt a little strange at first because it's been a long time since I had seen him. But we definitely look alike so I know he's my brother. I missed him a lot and after we got talking, it was a very nice visit. I hope I can do it again soon."
