One day you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through
and it will be someone else's survival guide.

The gift of knowledge is empowering, but the gift of wisdom is life-changing. - A.D. Posey
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 a brain injury can range from a mild concussion to a severe injury that results in coma or even death.

Sibling Support
We understand.
There are many therapies and medical equipment that can benefit a brain injury survivor. We know firsthand many of these necessities are not covered by insurances. Therefore, we created a financial assistance fund to support you and your loved ones to access care and equipment beyond insurance.
Contact us today to see if we can help you financially access a therapy or piece of equipment to support you on your healing journey.
Siblings have trauma too.
Feelings can range from compassion and love to jealousy and abandonment. You've lost the person you knew. You may feel angry, lost, sad, or confused —but knowing you are not alone in these feelings and being able to share with others who understand is not only fulfilling for you but helps others. Don't keep it all to yourself.
Together we can light the way for a brighter tomorrow.

Care you can trust.
In your role as a caregiver, you will probably find that it can be difficult to get appropriate and adequate services for your loved one. It is important to know that you will most likely need to advocate for your loved one and be persistent in your search for assistance.
Taking care of yourself is most important when providing care for a brain injured loved one.
Respite care provides breaks from caregiving to rejuvenate yourself so that you can continue to care for the survivor.
