In honour of the Blue Jays finishing their season this weekend, we wanted to highlight Ali, a past Micah House resident who works for the Blue Jays!! ⚾️🧢

Ali lived at Micah House in 2019 and his work with the Blue Jays was featured in the following video. Way to go, Ali! A great story of what it looks like to create a more accessible workplace.

"The disability community continues to grow rapidly, and many people find obtaining or maintaining a job challenging. In fact, Canadians with disabilities face high rates of unemployment. Many Canadian businesses are also not equipped with the knowledge and resources to tap into this underrepresented talent pool.

On this episode of Underestimated, presented by Oatley Vigmond Personal Injury Lawyers AND Brought to you by Spinal Cord Injury Ontario, we’re talking about job customization. OK, Blue Jays– Nancy visits with Ali Haider and learns about what he loves about his job with the Blue Jays.

Ali Haider moved to Canada since 2019. He has a visual disability. He lost sight at a young age due to unknown reasons. Ali has completed a bachelor’s degree in International Relations. Prior coming to Canada he operated his own business in packaging materials and was actively involved in sports and mountain climbing. Currently Ali works as a gate staff for Toronto Blue Jays and as a server at a restaurant. Ali loves travelling and making new acquaintances. He enjoys living life to the fullest and has an extremely positive attitude to learning new experiences."

The disability community continues to grow rapidly, and many people...

Ride. Walk. Fundraise. Invite a friend. 💛🧡💙

Every rider and walker is part of making room for families seeking safety and hope. Thank you!!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Open House and 20th Anniversary celebration! 🏡

For the past 20 years, this community has joined us in opening our doors and our arms to refugee claimant families. We are incredibly grateful for the support, compassion, and generosity that have made this work possible.

A special thank you to MPP Robin Lennox for stopping by to celebrate with us, and to the Ontario Trillium Foundation for their investment in Micah House. Their support helped us complete important renovations to ensure the house remains safe, welcoming, and ready to continue providing a home and a place of belonging for new families.

Here’s to 20 years of community, welcome, and hope and to the many families we will continue to walk alongside in the years ahead.
