After years of health challenges and uncertainty, Ro and his family found stability and a place to call their own at Connection Angle Lake.

Nothing makes Rezene “Ro” Abraham prouder than his children. “I’m lucky. I got some amazing kids. They’re polite. They’re respectful. I keep it as real as I can with the medical stuff — diabetes and epilepsy. They’ve always had constant seizures. You have to keep an eye on them. It doesn’t matter where we go, what we’re doing. I used to hold both of their hands at all times. Even when they were sleeping, I would just be sitting there watching them.

“Three years ago, they were really sick. That was the worst month of my life. They were in bad shape. We were in the hospital trying to heal them back. It was the ICU, so it was a long process to get them back right.

Once we got stable housing, everything started to change. We could really focus on getting healthy. We got both girls back healthy. Boom. We started working out.

“They’re healthier. They’re stronger. They feel better. They’re not having seizures. They know if they’re not locked in. They’re on it, they have their own routine they do.

“Finally, at Connection Angle Lake, they got a place that they can call home, and that’s what they wanted. And they love this place. I want to give flowers to everyone who has been through this walk with us. How it all came together. But to be able to smile like that and take it all in. They run into the rooms, ‘That’s my room! That’s my room!’ Somewhere they can say, ‘This is ours. This ours now.’”
