Korver walks out of her house holding hands with one of her living skills specialists Angela D’Elia, 21. “Meleah has 24 hours allocated to her by the state of Washington for care, health and safety,” D’Elia said.
Korver reaches for D'Elia's hand during a car ride to get a “big water” – a grande iced water from a coffee shop on Lincoln Street – which is one of Meleah’s favorite outings with D’Elia after a Sunday morning at Christ the King Church on Meridian Street.
Korver enjoys spending time at the Evergreen Supported Living office. She is able to be spend time with the Evergreen employees outside of her house and see other clients at the office.
Korver picks out her lunch and decides to make a lettuce salad with sliced zucchini and mushrooms. “Oh man!” said Korver after a piece of zucchini slips off the cutting board.
Korver lives with two other developmentally disabled women and there is constant laughter at their house. “Meleah is such an amazing woman,” D’Elia said. “She has a wonderful sense of humor and can get anyone laughing in a matter of minutes. She just spreads joy wherever she goes.”
