Cade Willes

Cade Willis is 19 years old. One of his favorite things to do is take trips to see his family. He has lots of cousins and we all like to sing, play instruments, and play games. His favorite trip was to Texas to celebrate his great grandma’s 100th birthday. He loves music and I likes to perform for people. He has been with Open Arms about 7 years. These are his special friends that he gets to see every week and dance with them.
