Education Fund for Ava Bennett
He started non-profit known as Street Medicine KC, a chapter of the larger Street Medicine national network. As Executive Director and Case Manager there, Jae solidified his commitment to providing vital medical and psychological services directly to those living on Kansas City streets. Jae's energy was contagious, and over the years, he built a supportive network of volunteers and partners to enact the mission. His passion and enthusiasm could be heard in board rooms, hospitals, non-profit agencies, and the streets themselves. He was a fierce advocate, calling for a smarter system that works better for the people it serves. He was never afraid of the "boots-on-the-ground" work required so often of him.
This fundraiser was started to raise funds to help with the financial burdens that will be incurred down the road with Ava’s education.
We appreciate all expressions of love and sympathy that we have received.
