Ivy has been part of Clare Parker Homes’ Odd Jobs program for several years, helping with seasonal and weekly jobs at different homes across the organization.
She enjoys outdoor work most, especially when the weather is nice. From raking and shovelling to other yard tasks, Ivy likes staying active and contributing in ways that make a difference.
“I like working for the things I want to buy.”
For Ivy, work is also about earning her own money and being able to purchase things for herself. It gives her the chance to do work she enjoys while building independence through the responsibilities she takes on.
This Disability Employment Awareness Month, we’re celebrating meaningful work, independence and the many ways people contribute through jobs they take pride in.
