Navigating Work & Life With Homies

Meet Ablah, one of our awesome employees at Homies. With her permission we share her story of finding independence, stability, and how Homies played a part in her challenging but rewarding journey.

Life Before Homies

Until recently, Ablah was living in a toxic family environment with her emotional support bunny Skylar. She was attending a day program where she learned social skills, made friends, and worked extensively on her mental health. However, she found living at home getting worse and she needed to leave to realize a better life.

Journey to Independence

With the help of her regional center case manager, Ablah found a family to live with that would help her live independently. She also has a roommate and caretaker named Bianca who helps her manage living on her own from navigating transportation, exploring the world, grocery shopping, and cooking. Bianca also assists Ablah in finding additional resources to help her out, for which Ablah is grateful for.

Ablah joined the Homies team through her case manager connecting her with employment agency Zavikon. Ablah wanted to help people as a career in the same way people have helped her. Zavikon connected her to Homies. She now works with Homies in connecting via social media and day programs as well as making promotional materials. She says it’s a privilege to work

Living A Fully Realized Life

Ablah now lives a fully independent life where she is in control. She lives in a happy and healthy living environment with a fulfilling job at Homies helping neurodivergent people like herself. Ablah is incredibly grateful for Homies and in playing a part in her journey towards a great life.
