SUFFOLK, Virginia - Kendra has been waiting a long time to be home with her family.
Embracing her independence about a year ago, the 31-year-old moved into a house with other adults with disabilities. She loves it, but she hasn t had physical contact with her family since March.
When the pandemic started, the facility tightened protocols and Kendra, like many others across the country, was only allowed to talk to her family via FaceTime, through her window or on the front porch with a mask.
