Buda’s Brightside, an adult day habilitation needs a little financial push from supporters and the community -- COVID-19 has made that need more dire. Since the pandemic, Brightside’s attendees, or “friends,” are unable to come back at normal capacity because the facility is not big enough for everyone to be socially distant. In order to make more money, the day-hab puts on fundraisers; their most recent was a wine night.
“Tonight we’re trying to raise money for the day-hab,” said Christina Trevino, CEO of Buda’s Brightside. “We’ve got a little bit of a bump ahead because of COVID, so we’re doing what we can to keep [the day-hab] alive. A lot of our friends need this once they can come back and we have a lot of opportunities ahead of us, so we’re trying to utilize the community to do the best for these guys.”
