"I want to be part of the voice panel to give suggestions, share my ideas, and share my opinions."

**A fun fact or hobby you'd like to share?**
"I lived in Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Ontario, Canada and Columbia, SC! I graduated from St. David Catholic Secondary School in Waterloo, Ontario in 2017, then I moved to Columbia, SC with my parents. I love to go shopping, make crafts, bake, bike, and visit family! I enjoy going to the beach, walking on trails, and taking photos of nature. I especially like spending time with Mom and Dad."

**Favorite Bible verse or piece of encouragement?**
Joshua 1:9, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." "Courage is not knowing what will happen; it is moving forward knowing God goes with you."

You've met Sam and Caitlyn — now meet Taylor! All members of Shiloh Communities' Our Voice Panel.

Hi, I'm Taylor! I'm connected to Shiloh Communities through our friends Ashley and Brandon.

I graduated from Lexington High School, where I was the first special needs person to try out and make the JV basketball team.

My favorite things to do are Bible study and helping my mom with anything she needs. I also love fashion!

Why this cause matters to me: "There is nothing down about me except a diagnosis."

A fun fact about me: I love to be silly and laugh!

Taylor is a true example of Christ in her love for others and her love for Jesus. We are so grateful to have her as part of our Shiloh family. ❤️

Would you take thirty seconds and share this post? 💛
We're getting ready for our evening for moms raising a child with a disability, and we want every mom in our community to know she's invited — but we can't reach her without you.
If you know a mom who needs a night like this — tired, pouring out, rarely poured into — tag her, share this, send her a text. Sometimes just knowing she's invited is the hardest part, and hearing it from a friend means more than any post we could put out ourselves.
The evening is $20 and packed full of encouragement, laughter, and fellowship. Tickets can be purchased on our Givebutter page. But if that's not in the budget right now, please don't let it hold you back — reach out and let us know, we'll make it work.
We're also looking for a few small sponsors to help make this night possible — if that's something you or your business would like to be part of, we'd love to talk.
Thank you for helping us get this in front of the moms who need it most.

You met Caitlynn, now meet Sam!
🌟 **Meet Our Voice Panel: John "Sam"uel Scott!** 🌟

We're so excited to introduce you to Sam, one of the newest voices on our Our Voice Panel!

Sam's connection to Shiloh began at Bitty & Beau's, where he met some wonderful coworkers — along with Brandon and Ashley Abbott. Born and raised in Columbia, Sam is a proud graduate of Cardinal Newman High School. When he's not diving into a good book or planning his next travel adventure, you can find him watching the skies — Sam is an airplane enthusiast through and through and can spot and classify commercial aircraft in nanoseconds! ✈️📚

Sam is especially close with his older brother Chris, spending time together and lending a hand around the house whenever he can.

His favorite quote says it all:
*"With God on my side, I fear no evil. Do or do not — there is no try!"* 💪🙏

We're so grateful Sam is sharing his voice and story with our community. Welcome, Sam! 🎉
