WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — For more than 15 years, this week’s ‘Hometown Hero’ has been providing kids and adults in Palm Beach County with free medical equipment.
It started as a hobby for Owen O’Neill, collecting donated items in the back of his truck and taking them to local clinics where they could be redistributed to people in need, but then in 2005 he officially brought Clinics Can Help to life.
Since then, the nonprofit has helped more than 18,000 people in the community including Trenise Jackson who just celebrated her 22nd birthday.
Her mom Tremesa says she continues to beat the odds.
