2014—Annual Report - CCRI—Creative Care for Reaching

Opening
New
Doors
2014
Annual
Report
Opening New Doors
When people come together, great things are achieved—
the impossible becomes the possible. Thirty-eight years ago,
a group of families had a dream for their children—a
home in the community instead of a room in the
institution. In 1977, after a lot of hard work, their
dream became reality and CCRI opened its first home.
Thirty-seven years later we found ourselves still
dreaming—this time of a space ample enough to
carry out CCRI’s mission for the more than 400
people we support. A space that would provide
boundless opportunities for those who rely on our
care and for the community they live in.
On May 12, 2014, our dream became a reality when we
opened the doors to our new building. In just 11 months we
have witnessed the huge impact that space plays in so many of our
programs. Our Recreation/Therapy groups have grown, more peer building opportunities
have been presented, and all of our team members have a work station that fits their needs.
In addition, twenty different groups from throughout the community have utilized our
space to hold meetings and events. The benefits are abundant.
In the midst of the excitement of our new building, our team was faced with continued
challenges. The Department of Human Services (DHS) implemented a new payment system
and licensing rules—two significant changes to our system implemented the same year.
Factor in the lowest unemployment rates in the nation, and North Dakota oil boom dollars
significantly increasing compensation rates of caregivers across the river and you have a recipe
for a possible disaster. I’m pleased that our extraordinary team was able to meet these
challenges without compromising the exceptional level of support that we provide.
In review, 2014 reaffirmed just how incredible the CCRI team is. Our 500 dedicated and
skilled team members recognize the infinite worth of all people. Collectively, we strive to
ensure that people have the opportunity to live their best life possible. Their drive and
perseverance is second to none. Their hard work enabled us to further our legacy of
providing exceptional support to the people we serve.

CCRI 2014 Annual Report
Joy Ranch—Rounding Up Smiles
by Liz Rowinski
Joy Ranch is an amazing place where barriers are removed and lives are impacted by the
experiences of the great outdoors. Located outside of Watertown, SD, Joy Ranch is a
throwback to the Old West with a main street filled with decorations and store fronts
resembling the times of Wild Bill. When the gang from CCRI arrived, we were greeted
with open arms and a list of activities that we could take part in.
Joy Ranch makes sure that everyone can participate by having adaptive equipment on hand
as well as a caring and committed staff. The accessible horse-drawn wagons and pontoons
were a highlight for many and countless trips around the lake were taken.
One of the greatest memories that I took away from Joy Ranch was when Brenda, a woman
who is not always an active participant in activities, decided to go horseback riding.
Her face lit up upon seeing the horse and she approached and mounted without
hesitation. While riding, we witnessed pure joy as she laughed and smiled the entire time.
We are thankful to our donors for helping us to encourage people to try new things—to
reach for the stars. Because of your generosity the people we proudly support are living
life to the fullest.
Brenda is all smiles as she horses
around with the Joy Ranch staff.

What’s Your Excuse?
by Mitchell Benson
What would you do if your life was
suddenly turned upside down by a
debilitating accident? One minute
you’re perfectly healthy, and the
next, you’re paralyzed from the neck
down unable to move anything but
your head. Life as you knew it is
over. Can you imagine how you
would react? Would you wallow in
self-pity, or push forward? I don’t
know if anyone can answer this
question for certain until they are
faced with this challenge.
8½ years ago, at the age of 23, I had to face
this challenge. I went out with a friend one
night and made a poor decision that resulted in
me suffering a spinal cord injury, paralyzing me from
my shoulders down. At first, I could not understand the
full magnitude of my injury, I was young, I had accidents before,
I was fine then, this is nothing, I’ll beat this. My outlook couldn’t have been further from the truth.
I was a very physically capable person before, but hard work wasn’t going to get me out of this one.
Only days after my accident I was moved to a rehab unit, my body was stable, so I began
therapy. I had minor bicep movement and could slightly turn my wrist. For months I worked at
strengthening these muscles—unfortunately that connection was lost too. Not willing to give up,
I continued therapy and tried with all my might, but eventually therapy was discontinued due
to lack of results.
I didn’t know where to turn. I had done everything I could to regain control of my body, but
it just wasn’t enough. Although I wasn’t able to regain any movement, I wasn’t ready to throw in
the towel and admit defeat. I didn’t know what my next step should be. Much of my identity was
entwined in my physical abilities. I had been an athlete, an outdoorsman, a mechanic, a carpenter,
a concrete finisher…Who was I now?
Without my therapy I had plenty of free time. I would roll around the rehab center visiting
other people going through similar challenges and some going through very different ones. My
roommate was a guy about my age who had suffered a traumatic brain injury. His short-term
6
CCRI 2014 Annual Report
memory wasn’t great, but he could still walk and converse pretty well. He and I were the perfect
pair, I would be his memory and he would be my hands. He would turn my TV on, change my
channels, open doors, run the elevator and help with whatever he could. In return, I helped him
with his schedule and made sure he knew when his therapies were. It was nice to feel needed
again. I have always felt a sense of satisfaction being able to help someone else.
Not many people expect much from an immobile guy in a wheelchair, and that sucks. So, I expect
everything from myself. If there is anything I can do on my own, I do it. One thing that works in
my favor is my dislike of asking for help. I am an independent person who won’t use my disability
as an excuse.
One thing I will tell you is wanting help and needing help are two entirely different things.
In my situation I need help, but I don’t want to need help. It can be a struggle trying to maintain
my individuality while relying on another person for help. Everyone has their own tendencies and
I’m no different. For example, I like to eat my meals a certain way. I mix some things
together while avoiding mixing others. I may start out eating a meal wanting plenty of dip
on my chips but by the end only want a little. I like to cycle through whatever I’m eating
instead of eating all of one thing and then all of the next. How would you like to be fed? Would
you explain every little thing? I can tell you from experience that it’s usually met with “wow,
you’re picky”. Try to think of your little tendencies. Now think of how it would be if you
couldn’t do that because somebody else is doing it for you. It can be frustrating.
Just think, if your brow itches, you scratch it, if you’re sitting uncomfortably, you reposition, if you
touch something hot, you pull away. You don’t need to think about it, you just do it. Much of my
life is dependent on others. If my nose itches, I ignore it or ask someone to scratch it. If I’m leaning
to the left in my chair, I ask someone to move me. My day doesn’t start until someone gets me
ready and out of bed. My bowels and bladder are evacuated on a schedule with the assistance
of others. I need someone to clean, clothe, and feed me. It can be a tough life always needing.
Continued on page 8.

Ladies” at the CCRI Polar Plunge.

I’m always thinking of new ways to gain
back my independence. With the help of modern
technology I’m able to do quite a bit. Once in my
chair I can move about the house, steering my
chair with my head, barring any closed doors.
I have a speech recognition program called
Dragon Naturally Speaking, and can navigate
and manipulate most things on my computer.
I spend a lot of time on the computer because
I’m able to do so much with it. I communicate
with friends and family through email and
social media. Technology allows me keep up
with the outside world. Recently, with the help
of my little brother, we figured out a way for me
to use a smart phone with a stylus. I’m new to it,
but excited about the independence I will gain with
it in the future.
So what is life like for me now? It’s tough, but doable.
I’ve learned that I’m more capable than I ever thought possible.
Mitchell and his parents . Two years after my injury I decided to go back to school. With the
help of Minnesota Vocational Rehab, North Dakota State University Disability Services, and
CCRI I enrolled at NDSU and majored in business—a universal major in terms of job
opportunities and a major that relies on computer skills.
College was a learning process. In the beginning I was unsure of myself, but, after receiving
straight A’s the first semester, my confidence began to build. Math calculations and drawing
diagrams were probably my biggest obstacles, it’s hard to practice calculations and drawing
without your hands. Some things were more time-consuming, but my instructors were
accommodating and supportive. It took me a little longer, but this past December I graduated
summa cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. If you would have told
me that was possible 8½ years ago I might have advised you to seek professional help.
I want people to take away from my experience the knowledge that all of us have a layer of
untapped potential lying below the surface of mobility. To reach it you must be accountable
and refuse to allow yourself excuses. I’m not going to say it is easy, because it’s not, there are
failures along the way, but failure is not an end, it’s only a benchmark. You never know what
you’re capable of until you are tested and fail. With the level of success I experienced at NDSU,
I can tell you I’ve only scratched the surface of my full potential. Now, what’s your excuse?

CCRI 2014 Annual Report
CCRI, Part of The Family
After Joey suffered a traumatic brain injury at the age of 9, his family’s life was completely flipped
upside down. Everything that they’d known and how they previously had functioned was suddenly
changed. The family was told that Joey would never walk, talk, eat, or function like a typical child.
However, two days later he was wide awake in his hospital room attempting to run around.
Trouble began in the midst of Joey’s rehab. Joey’s mom was struggling from lack of support. It had
become an overwhelming and stressful job trying to take care of Joey alone. This is when CCRI
came into the picture. Joey’s caregivers have been able to assist the family in getting back to a
somewhat normal life that was lost after the accident; however, this was no walk in the park.
Committed and dedicated are common words used to describe the caregivers who work with Joey.
Joey’s needs are constantly changing, and it is key that his caregivers are able to go with the flow.
They are always willing to pick up another shift, help out coworkers, and continually give
support to Joey’s mom.
Joey’s mother recently had her second set of twins, and during this time CCRI was able
to provide 24-hour services to their family. Joey’s mother would commonly talk about
how much the caregivers cared about Joey. There was always smiling, laughing, joking,
and teaching going on between them. Their willingness to work on good days, bad days,
overnights, and long weekend shifts is instrumental in assuring that this family gains some
of their normalness back.
CCRI has also enabled Joey to participate in community activities. He attends CCRI events and
now takes part in gatherings with his peers. These types of activities were unmanageable for his
family before CCRI began support.
Joey’s mom has continually expressed her thankfulness for Joey’s caregiving team and the services
provided by CCRI. Joey’s mom has made it clear how
different their life would be without CCRI, “If
I didn’t have CCRI I know that Joey
would not be able to live at home
with his family and I know
without Joey, my
family is not
complete.”

From Student Volunteer
To Graduate Employee
by Jaime Johnson
I was in my last year of school working
toward earning my Bachelor’s degree when
I received an e-mail from my advisor about
an opportunity to volunteer at CCRI. I
had heard about this organization, but
wasn’t familiar with what CCRI was really
all about. I was curious to learn more.
My first volunteering experience was at
the FM Crusaders auction which supports
CCRI’s Camp H.E.R.O. Everyone was so
friendly, welcoming, and thankful for the extra
help. I had such a pleasant experience that I
decided to sign up for additional
opportunities.
After spending quite a bit of time volunteering, I was
approached about an intern opportunity.
I felt so lucky! Internships are difficult to find for my major,
so I interviewed immediately and became the Development and
Human Resources intern. I gained valuable experience
and had so much fun that I didn’t want it to end.
I was thrilled
to be offered
employment shortly
after my internship.
I absolutely couldn’t
pass up such a
wonderful opportunity. I truly enjoy every minute of
working at CCRI, I know I’m always in for a positive
and rewarding experience. The only change I would
make is wishing I had found them sooner!

CCRI 2014 Annual Report
Brian Beats The Odds
by Jamie Skrove
Have you ever met someone who was unable or unwilling to acknowledge their potential?
Someone filled with possibility but unable to see it? Brian was just that, he couldn’t see the
positives in life.
“I am EXTREMELY grateful!
I never felt much importance
in my life and I’m glad to know
I tried making better choices
before I became a father.”
Life started out for Brian in an orphanage in Thailand.
When he was three years old he was adopted by a
Midwestern family. Brian moved half way across the
world to a farm in rural North Dakota.
He grew up in a loving family with his adopted mother,
father and two older sisters. Brian’s need for mental and behavioral health services became
evident at age 15, when his family turned to the Dakota Boys Ranch for help. He lived
at the ranch from age 15–18.
After High School graduation, Brian
enlisted in the US Navy as an airman.
Stationed in Jacksonville, Florida, he
served our country from 1993–1996
before being discharged other than
honorable.
My involvement with Brian began in
2010 when I was assigned to his case
to help him overcome some housing
problems/barriers, as well as, address
the mental health symptoms he was
struggling to manage.
I quickly learned a few things about
Brian and his lifestyle at this time; he
had street smarts, strived to be as
physically fit as possible, was a ladies
man who loved the U.F.C. fighting
and found himself involved in fights
just as dangerous at times. He had a
very strong value for justice, especially
when it came to men who perpetrated

against women and children but, held little
trust in law enforcement to do what was just. I
worked with Brian for six months and in that time
he was successful in maintaining his housing, stability
and began focusing on goals of employment and
reinstating his driver’s license. Brian and I parted ways.
“I’d

down and all
the while he was
learning how to be the best father he
could be.
Brian won the
First Place/People’s Choice
ribbon for his entry in the
Art of Freedom show.
Over the course of the next few years,
Brian was faced with one crisis after
another—most of them stemming
from the personal relationship he was
in with the mother of his daughters.
It was evident that Brian and his
daughters were the true victims in
the situation, none-the-less, he held
steadfast and continued to follow the
recommendations of his mental health
team.
It wasn’t long before Brian overcame his
first “impossible” hurdle: gaining full
legal custody of his oldest daughter.
Then, the second “impossible” hurdle:
re-defining his concept of “family” and
removing his ex-girlfriend from their
12
CCRI 2014 Annual Report
lives. Then, the third: gaining full legal custody of his youngest daughter. Then, after a brief
“cool down” period he re-grouped and identified his next and most important goal in life—
to build a healthy and happy life for him and his daughters. A life in a new, safe community
closer to his family.
Although Brian could define his goal/vision
for the future, he viewed it as the
“impossible”: focusing on his barriers rather
than strengths. This astounded me because
all I could see were strengths. Brian was a
true survivor, who was beating the odds and
he had countless examples to back it up. I
was excited to help him pursue his next
vision because I knew, just like his other “impossible” hurdles, he was going to knock
this one out of the park, it was just a matter of time.
“It means so much to me how wonderful of a
worker and person you are to do so much to
help me. I just feel very lucky. I really believed
you were my only chance and the reason my
girls are with me today and I can’t imagine my
life without them. If anything, throughout this,
I really found out that I’m a good person.”
Realistically, even with all of Brian’s strengths, it was going to be a challenge; the
housing market for anyone on a low, fixed income with a subsidized housing voucher is
a challenging market to find success in, let alone for a household of three where the head
of household has a criminal record. Our housing search started off promising but then
started resulting in dead end after dead end; the list of options became narrower as the
weeks/months went on. Then, finally, we found it—the landlord that was open to vesting
in Brian and his small family, open to giving him a chance and a new opportunity.
On 12/20/14 he moved away from Moorhead and on to the next chapter in his life.
Brian did it again—he overcame the “impossible” and reached his ultimate goal! He has
embraced fatherhood as his lifelong dream and has totally devoted himself to raising his
two daughters.
I think that the metaphor of a light
house best reflects Brian’s story and
the teamwork between him and
CCRI. In a sense, we had the
opportunity to be the beacon of
hope for Brian that helped him
weather the storm regardless of
how rough the waters got.
“I feel every bit of gratitude, at any given time, that
you helped me. I believe you know that you saved my
children and even my life. In your field of work, you
say I did all the work and that is as important to
me, as I hope to you. I was one of the clients that
needed someone the most and you were there.
With that being said, I know that I would
never have made it without that help and
I hate the thought of where I might be
if I didn’t have it. I find myself in debt
to you—all I can ever say is simply,
Thank you.”

Each year we have an amount of our budget that comes from philanthropic support.
Gifts from caring people like you. That annual amount we call our funding gap. CCRI
offers numerous life-enhancing activities not funded by the state, to close the gap in our
budget for these activities will take $83,600 in community support this year. To close
the gap on our $3.7 million building budget will take $981,000.

Why I Contribute to CCRI.
I have contributed to Creative Care for Reaching
Independence for many years as a member of the Board
of Directors. Having had the opportunity to observe
staff and clientele involved in many different contexts,
I am convinced that the mission of CCRI is embedded
in the hearts and minds of all staff members. Clients
are assisted in developing confidence and skills that
enable them to be helpful and happy members of
society. CCRI makes a positive difference in our
community and throughout the whole of our
society. I am convinced that all of us benefit
because of the devotion of this organization
to the lives it uplifts.
