If a child grows up without a solid education, the American dream will likely remain out of reach. A proper education imbues the young child with not only knowledge but the skills (critical thinking) and values (resilience) that are needed to persevere on the often long and arduous road toward the American dream. These simple and universal facts are true whether the child was born poor on the South Side of Chicago or just outside of Buffalo. Dr. John Ratford, the CEO of WellNow Urgent Care, was that child that grew up in Lackawanna, just outside of Buffalo. On the 75th day of his 100-day vigil to raise funds for a community center designed to transform the lives of the people on the South Side of Chicago, Pastor Corey Brooks hosted Ratford for a discussion by the campfire. #FoxNews
