Last week, Brandon joined Charlie at the BPNC Health Fair & Fiesta at Kelly High School.
As a proud Kelly High School graduate and an active member of his community, Brandon returned to the very place where his journey began. Brandon continues to receive therapy through Center for Independence’s CE-IT programs while also building his career with Working Together Chicago.
Thursday, he had the opportunity to share the very resources that have helped him get to where he is today with members of his own community.
Watching Brandon in action was incredibly powerful. He connected people with vital services that many didn’t even know existed, demonstrating the impact that access, opportunity, and lived experience can have.
Thank you to BPNC for hosting such a wonderful event, and thank you to all of the organizations that came out to share the incredible work you do. Together, we’re making our communities stronger, one connection at a time.
