Our Story

In July of 2020, Sierra Longmoore was seriously injured in a car crash. She sustained a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), multiple skull fractures, collapsed lungs and a mid-brain stroke. Her family was told she would not live through the night.

By the grace of God, she made it through. Her recovery has been propelled by her grit and determination plus the incredible support from medical professionals, our community, family, and strangers.

Grateful for her blessings, Sierra vowed during her recovery to help others who survived a TBI on their journey so they were not alone. This led to the Unmask The Invisible Foundation.

 

 

The video below takes you through her injury, her recovery, and her her story, including hospital scenes. 

There are so many aspects of TBI, recovery, and caregiving that are invisible to society and need illumination. As a Foundation, we are committed to creating programs and services that identify and support these aspects. We've started, and have much more to do. Won't you join us?

What is a Traumatic Brain Injury

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, Traumatic brain injury (TBI) happens when a sudden, external, physical assault damages the brain.  It is one of the most common causes of disability and death in adults.  TBI is a broad term that describes a vast array of injuries that happen to the brain. The damage can be focal (confined to one area of the brain) or diffuse (happens in more than one area of the brain). The severity of the brain injury can range from a mild concussion to a severe injury that results in a coma or even death.
