Gabriel Homes residents celebrated independence on July 4, 2025.
July 4, 2025 was a day of reflecting on and celebrating independence. At Gabriel Homes, our residents take pride in being independent every day.
Independence Day at Gabriel Homes
Residents came together at one of the homes for sparklers and barbecue. Program coordinators Kassi Fretty, Naomi Pariona (second photo, left), and Daniel Borges (second photo, right) collaborated on getting the supplies and cooking the food. Both said the day was rewarding and fun when they saw the sparklers light up in front of the residents’ eyes.
Sam (first photo) looked enamored when he was holding the sparkler. His reactions brought me so much joy.

Gabriel Homes ensured residents were holding sparklers safely and securely.
If you plan to keep the Independence Day celebrations going, The American Pyrotechnics Association has more information on sparklers safety.
