Military life means constant change, but for families in Rhode Island with special health care needs, RIPIN provides the one thing they need most: continuity. As part of our "35 Stories for 35 Years" series, we’re highlighting how RIPIN helps Rhode Island military families bridge the gap between civilian and military systems.

We are incredibly honored to celebrate Brayden Bro We are incredibly honored to celebrate Brayden Brouillard and his outstanding Eagle Scout project. 💙

Brayden set out with a goal of creating 100 gift bags for RIPIN families and, through collaboration with his community, more than doubled that number — creating 215 gift bags filled with games, toys, and activities for children.

Inspired by his brother and his own lived experience, Brayden led this project with care, integrity, and a genuine desire to support families who visit RIPIN. These bags will be shared with our clients and families, bringing moments of comfort, fun, and connection.

Thank you, Brayden, for your leadership and compassion — and congratulations on earning the rank of Eagle Scout. We are so grateful for your impact. 👏✨
