Our Mission

Our mission is to ensure everyone who sustains a spinal cord injury has the care, community, and resources they need to thrive.

Connection

Our work spans the full spectrum of life after a spinal cord injury, from supporting newly injured people in the hospital, collaborating with health providers and social service providers to ensure coordination of care and a seamless discharge plan, to building a thriving and supportive community of individuals with spinal cord injuries.

Equity

Our team and our work are committed to creating attitudinal and systemic changes that remove ableism, racism, and other forms of oppression against the disability community, including those who live at the intersection of multiple marginalizing identities with disability.

Stories of how we thrive

Whether it’s through our adaptive camping program, wheelchair maintenance workshop, or a meet-up, a “frequent dose of community” will make the transition after a spinal cord injury easier.

Our Stories

Become a monthly donor!

Our dedicated community health workers have uncovered critical gaps in the support available to those with spinal cord injuries—needs that government programs and health insurance often overlook. Essential items like ramps, shower chairs, and mobility aids—tools that empower independence and improve quality of life—are frequently left uncovered.

You can make a difference! By becoming a monthly donor, even $10 a month can help bridge these gaps and provide the vital resources that allow individuals to thrive. Your generosity can be life-changing!
