This one came straight from a live chat — and we think that's what makes it so good. Jamestown City Council Member Daniel Gonzalez joined us for a candid, unscripted conversation about the state of Jamestown. We covered what's working, what still needs work, and what residents can expect going forward. Pull up a seat and join the conversation on this week's My CHQ Podcast.

In this episode, we sit down with Tom Nelson, the president of Healing for Heroes, a veterans retreat located in Bemus Point dedicated to supporting those who have served.

We discuss the mission behind the retreat, how healing environments can make a real difference for veterans, and why this kind of support matters so deeply in our local community.

We also talk about the story behind the organization, the impact they’re making, and how the community can help.

What happens when a child enters the foster care system, and who makes sure their voice is heard?

In this episode, we talk with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Chautauqua County about the powerful role their volunteers play in advocating for children who have experienced abuse and neglect.

From building one-on-one relationships to standing up for a child’s best interests in court, CASA volunteers often become one of the most consistent and trusted adults in a child’s life.

This is a conversation about compassion, community, and how one person can truly change a child’s future.
