New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
“I’m trying to find a woman named Elisa that my son worked with at the Christopher Donovan Center in Wareham up until 2 years ago.
My son has autism. It’s a disorder that generally is considered to affect his ability to form bonds, but he has continuously asked for Elisa EVERY school vacation since he stopped seeing her at the center. This woman is an amazing example of what we should all hope to be. She left such an impact on my son, and the last time he saw her we all thought she would see him one more day to say “Goodbye.”
Life happens. We all understand that, but my son does not. Last I knew, Elisa lived in New Bedford and worked with the Special Education Department in New Bedford Public Schools. I am trying to find her to let her know Joseph misses her terribly and is still waiting for the day he’ll get to walk into the center to say his goodbyes to her.
It would mean the world to my child if we could find her. This morning, being the start of a week with no school for my son, he said “Elisa” to me on our way out the door and it’s breaking my heart to know he does not understand why she has never come back. The last time they spoke he was told he’d see her again. I cannot explain what happened, but maybe I can get a message to her to bring this child some closure.
It would mean a lot to me and my son if this was allowed to be posted. I know that anyone that has met Elisa would know exactly who I was talking about. Thank you for your time. Have a good day.”
