What a journey! Heartwarming moment listening to Murray’s story. As always @ridetoconnect, @connectedcdns, and @BruyereGive teamwork makes the dream work!
“You’re all so friendly, you’re all so enthusiastic!” Murray, a @ridetoconnect iPad recipient, tells us how receiving new technology and training from CC was life-changing. Join Murray and others who have improved their digital literacy skills with us. #Bruyere #RidetoConnect
