*Consumer Spotlight*
Angel has been part of the RTI community for a little over a year, and his journey has been truly inspiring. Living with paraplegia and a traumatic brain injury, Angel came to RTI during a time when he was feeling isolated and struggling with his mental health. After hearing about RTI from a nurse, he decided to check it out—and that decision became a turning point. Through attending activities, meeting new people, and working with one of our Independent Living Specialists, Angel began opening up and experiencing a positive shift in his outlook on life. Grateful for the support he received, Angel chose to give back by volunteering with RTI, where he found a renewed sense of purpose and pride.

As Angel says, “RTI really changed my life. Volunteering here has given me a sense of purpose and pride, and for the first time in a long time, I feel like I belong.”

We want to give a huge shout-out to Angel for all the ways he helps and for bringing a positive attitude every single day—we are so grateful to have him as part of the RTI family.

👩‍🍳 Sweet End to a Great Season! 🥚
​What an incredible final Life Skills Cooking Class for the season! We went out with a bang (and a sugar rush! 😉).
​Our awesome students mastered two classic, cozy treats: Fudgy Brownies and delicious Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. The kitchen smelled absolutely heavenly!
​We had a true farm-to-table moment thanks to one of our fantastic students! A huge thank you to Travis for bringing us a dozen beautiful, fresh eggs from his own backyard chickens! 🐓 Baking with ingredients that fresh truly elevated our final creations.
​We are so proud of how much everyone has learned and created this season. Stay tuned for details on when our cooking classes will return! Happy baking until then!
