Daven finds joy and friendship at AbleLight's Day Program

A life full of joy and friendship

Daven is a vibrant participant at AbleLight’s Day Program, where his joyful energy and playful sense of humor light up each day. Known affectionately as “Trouble,” he’s a friend to everyone and a beloved part of our AbleLight community. Daven’s favorite activities reflect his zest for life: he loves bowling, sharing laughs over karaoke, meeting new people, and even an occasional trip to Central City.

Daven’s life hasn’t been without its challenges. As a cancer survivor, he has faced difficult moments, but his journey is one of resilience and strength. With the unwavering support of his dedicated care team, he attended every appointment and received the care he needed to overcome his diagnosis. Today, Daven continues to live life fully, surrounded by friends and AbleLight team members who celebrate his unique spirit.

At AbleLight’s Day Program, Daven is more than just a participant, he’s a cherished member of a community that values connection, creativity, and compassion. His story reminds us the importance of a supportive environment where individuals can thrive, find friendship, and truly enjoy life.
