In 2025, Ben Suhr faced significant change and showed remarkable resilience. After the loss of his father, Ben navigated the difficult transition of relocating and beginning a new chapter in his life. In June, he moved into an Apace-supported apartment, where he now lives with his roommate, Mike, and their two dogs, Sassy and Chewy. With this move came many meaningful firsts, including decorating a Christmas tree in his new home, a milestone that reflects his growing independence and pride in his space. Ben has also continued to thrive in his job at McDonald’s, where he has been successfully employed for two years. He works a few hours each weekday and enjoys the freedom of accessing Nebraska City on his electric bike. Ben’s year is a testament to his strength, determination, and the possibilities that come with supportive community living.
