Nick Brady gets ready for an afternoon on the slopes at Bear Mountain
This isn’t a PROGRAM...it's just us...
We’re the Brady family, 34 years in San Clemente…reaching out and “waiving our yellow flag” for your help! My name is Peter, and my wife Nancy & I looking for assistance with our son Nicholas. (Oh! By the way, please ignore the heliskiing website! It was just a very convenient place to publish this page!)
Would YOU be interested in becoming Nick’s "Buddy?" You would be providing support, friendship, and guidance in a variety of social, domestic and recreational settings.
IDEAL CANDIDATES:
- College athletes!
- Selfless individuals with a deep compassion for others who are in their early 20s!
- Strong women in their later years, who understand the challenges of adults with disabilities
- Young men and women who already have experience as caregivers for kids & adults with autism
- Anyone with a huge heart, a strong sense of empathy, patience, and a desire to make a positive difference!
ABOUT NICK:
Nick is 28 years old, and when we took this picture, he was often asked if he a football player because of his size at 6’2” 210 lbs! He has a gentle, pleasing disposition nearly all of the time. Like most young men, he wants to get out and enjoy the day! I have hiked around with him just about everywhere in south Orange County.
Nick loves walking on the rocks at Dana Point!
He loves walking on the rocks on the Dana Point breakwater and out across the beach to the rocks beneath Dana Headlands. He loves Trails 3-6 past San Onofre! He loves the San Clemente Beach Trail. We even take him skiing up in Big Bear!
However, at this stage in our family's journey, his sisters are all grown up and gone, and my wife Nancy & I are all he's got! We really need your help!
Naturally, we will provide one-on-one support and training for you to nurture your relationship with Nick and make the experience of supporting him a successful and rewarding one! With that said, let's slowly build your community engagement and responsibilities.
Nick loves sunset at Trail three!
ACTIVITES COULD INCLUDE:
- Walking and hiking in relatively remote areas like Trails in San Clemente and Dana Point Headlands to build confidence
- Taking Nick to familiar stores such as Costco, Trader Joe's, Albertsons and Lowes to build confidence in a busier community environment
- Go to the Gym and workout!
- Literally, hanging out at the house while Nick sleeps! (He stays up late and often sleeps 'til 2:00!)
- Hanging out at the house while Nancy & I go on a date!
- Ultimately, progressing to the level where you can stay at our house and care for Nick, while Nancy and I travel for long weekends!
Thank you so much for being curious enough to read this far!
Nancy & Nick Enjoy a typical Nick moment!
We would really love to hear from you about this opportunity!
Please contact me (Peter) directly with any questions & inquiries.
