Carol is leaving a legacy for her brother 

Carol has seen Little City’s growth firsthand over the years as her brother Wayne first came to the agency when he was 11 years old in 1961. Now at 73 years old, Wayne is the longest tenured resident at Little City and Carol said it has been a lifetime of great memories and amazing growth.  

“We wouldn’t trade this situation for anything,” Carol said. “He has really matured and learned so much along the way. The best thing I can say is I know he is very happy. He loves his life.” 

Today Wayne enjoys the day programming at Countryside Center where he can stay active, socialize with friends, take classes, and engage in community outings. During his decades at Little City, Wayne has benefited from almost every program Little City has to offer, from Special Olympics to art and gardening classes.  

And for Carol, Little City has become part of the family and has inspired her to join the Abraham & Judith Bohrer Heritage Society – committing to a planned gift to Little City to help continue this life-changing impact for years to come for so many more just like Wayne. 

Giving as part of the planned giving program is just one way Carol and her family hope to help other families have the same life-changing experience Wayne has had at Little City.  

“Little City is ever changing but it has always made Wayne happy,” Carol said. “We’re just very lucky.”
