Roberto came to Providence House after being hospitalized for lead exposure. For toddlers like Roberto, lead exposure can be harmful to their growth, behavior, and ability to learn.
While staying with us at Providence House, Roberto enjoyed interacting with the other children, going on field trips, and engaging in imaginative play! And he received the care he needed in a safe, lead-free environment.
By bringing Roberto to Providence House, his grandmother, Jean, was able to work with the Lead Clinic at MetroHealth Medical Center, and the Cuyahoga County Board of Health to ensure the lead abatement of their home was completed.
When Roberto was ready to go home, his lead level had decreased by nearly 90%!
Despite all of his obstacles, Roberto continued to be bright, happy, and playful, and we were so glad to support him and his family!
