Me and Mel
John Guido
December 12 – John Guido, the Regional Coordinator for the 9 L’Arche communities in Ontario, shares a very beautiful portait of his journey and friendship with Mel, a member of the L’Arche Toronto community.
“We met in 1985, when I came to live at L’Arche Daybreak where Mel had been living for 13 years. Mel was 43, has a developmental disability and is legally blind; I was 23, a graduate of Notre Dame University and had just left the seminary. Both of us were struggling with self esteem and frustrated in living a life which we felt was worth celebrating.”
