Making dreams come true for Jesse

Jesse is a person we support at Endurance Care – Harrietsham and Medway. He’s a big character who often walks around the service with a train driver’s hat on to make everybody smile. The team there know just how much Jesse’s passion for trains enriches his life. They go beyond to help him achieve his goals, supporting him with planning, and managing his budgeting goal so he can take his train trips.

Jesse’s passion for trains goes back to his childhood. He loves everything about them and loves to travel by train as often as possible. Some days Jesse will spend all day on a train with no particular destination in mind. The biggest thrill for him is planning the route, experiencing the journey, and chatting with the crew along the way.

Jesse likes to be certain he can make two trips to London each month. Impressively, Jesse knows almost all the London Underground AND Southeastern railway routes. He makes one visit with a support worker and one with his dad, who also shares Jesse’s enthusiasm. They visit model railway and steam train fairs together, and Jesse looks forward to all his train endeavours so much he marks the days down on his calendar – with train stickers.
