Over the past 2 years, THANKS to BREAKING GROUNDS CAFE Mitch has progressed significantly by using there walls to display his ART. But it is not just about displaying his art, he learned work ethic by completing orders, staying on task, he learned to communicate better and learned more social cues when speaking to others, such as eye contact, response and sometimes even a small conversation.
He began to teach other art as well, his self esteem went beyond what we could imagine, He had friends in the Mt. Holly Mill Race Village, it became a second home and he was so comfortable.
The support for his art was tremendous and gave him such a feeling of self accomplishment, he wanted to continue to make people happy by his art.
NOW with the COVID19 virus, Mitchell has no services to help keep him in a routine, no orders to help him with that routine, no place to sell his art and no socialization with friends in the community.
We are trying our best to help cheer up others in this time of need, but when it is over, there is a chance Breaking Grounds may not open, just as many other smaller shops.
He is confused by his routine being disrupted and not socializing and seeing his friends at Breaking Grounds, but he is a good sport and just knowing we are sending smiles to those helping those that are sick is enough right now.
His cat SNAPPY is keeping him busy as well
I am trying to post new videos in his Facebook and working on him teaching virtually. It's a process but stay tuned.
We hope when this is all over you will be able to visit us at Breaking Grounds or a local craft show. STAY SAFE
