"He asked me if I wanted out. I said yeah, do what it takes to get me out." Jamie Beck shared her story about how she ended up living in a nursing home shortly after graduating from high school. She says her father's stage four cancer led to her placement there. After trying to make the best of a bad situation, Jamie spoke up and told her guardian she wanted out. Today Jamie lives in a home and works part-time in the community. She was interviewed in Indianapolis in 2016.
