An Inspiration
Facebook – Rion Holcombe
Rion Holcombe completed a two-year “LIFE Program” at Clemson University in South Carolina. He now works two jobs that allow him to pay all his own expenses and live a far better quality of life than people might assume.
He also has a girlfriend with Down syndrome, and the couple regularly goes on dates together. Rion thus stands as a beacon and an inspiration to many. His story proves that archaic notions that seek to preclude special needs persons from society have no place anymore.
