👏Kicking off the new year, celebrating Jubilee's first Shining Star employee award winner of 2026! Congratulations to Direct Support Professional Rokhaya Dieng. She was jointly nominated for the Shining Star award by all three families of the three men she supports. 💓

👉Here's what they had to say about Rokhaya's impact on their lives of their loved ones:

“Rokhaya has consistently demonstrated outstanding dedication and a profound commitment to the well-being and happiness of [all three men]. She is, without a doubt, the glue that holds the home together, going above and beyond her duties to ensure every participant thrives. Her impact on [our son's] life is immeasurable—he truly loves and trusts her. We feel incredibly lucky and blessed to have her as part of his life.” - Kiran and Harsha J.

She “always demonstrates professionalism, respect, and unwavering commitment to person-centered care. We are grateful to have Rokhaya taking care of [our loved ones] and so appreciative of everything she does for them and the families.” - Geoff F.

“We would enthusiastically recommend Rokhaya for a Nobel prize if Jubilee awarded them!” - Craig U.

When Mary Jo learned her utilities would be shut off the next day, she had nowhere to turn—except Jubilee. Our team jumped into action:
✔ Emergency meeting
✔ Movers to pack her belongings
✔ Temporary housing with friends
✔ Apartment search support

One month later, Mary Jo signed her first lease ever. “This is the best place I’ve ever lived,” she says.

👏Congratulations to our December Shining Star award winner Oladapo (Kenny) Adaralegbe! Kenny is a Jubilee Direct Support Professional. His dedication and advocacy for Tyler, and his mentorship of other direct support professionals, inspired Service Team Lead James Kivembele to nominate Kenny for this award. 📣James says that Kenny has an “an unbreakable bond” with Tyler, and he’s helped create a “welcoming home environment” where both Tyler and our support staff want to be. 🏡

What would you do if you had 24 hours to move out of your home—and almost nothing in your bank account?

This was Mary Jo’s reality just a few months ago. Thanks to donors like you, Jubilee stepped in to make sure she had a safe place to live and the support she needed.

Today, Mary Jo is thriving in her own apartment, enjoying independence and community.

You can make this possible for others. Your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar this holiday season!
