We would like to than our In-Kind donors The Overton Hotel and Conference Center, Stella's Restaurant, Stacey Mitchell, 21 West End, Amazing Graze and 4 Corks!
Home renovations - Many of our families have to remodel their home to make it handicap accessible before their children come home from the hospital. Doors may need to be widened, sinks lowered, and showers made larger. This is a large expense. With your $5,000, we can help ease their financial burden of remodeling their home.
Adaptive Bikes - Not only do adaptive bikes help with the child’s physical therapy, it helps them fit in with others and gives them a sense of normalcy. Riding a bike with family and friends is once again a reality. With your donation of $2,500, we can help them experience something they might have thought they would never do again.
Special Needs Summer Camps - These camps are life changing for children who have suffered a brain injury. It is a chance for them to experience a sense of independence, to relax, and to just have fun with people who can relate to them. It is something they look forward to each year. With your $1,000, we can help send a child to camp.
Hippotherapy or Horse Therapy - Horseback riding is used as a therapeutic and rehabilitative treatment. It can improve coordination, balance, and strength, as well as help them relax. Your donation of $500, will provide a child with one month of hippotherapy.
Family Advocacy Program - Parents are frequently overwhelmed trying to navigate the systems in place, even those meant to assist. The Family Advocacy Program can assist with providing specific information quickly, reconciling the massive number of medical bills with insurance companies’ explanation of benefits, or with medical claims or special education advocacy. Your $250 donation can provide 5 hours of advocacy for a family.
Brain Injury Care Packages - Our care packages are distributed to families in hospitals and rehab centers. Each care package consists of a gift card/gas card, journal, resource guide, resources, and more. Your $100 donation provides a care package for a family.
