Fund A Need

Getting as much rehab as soon as possible is crucial for those recovering from spinal cord injuries. The first 24 months of spinal rehabilitation are critical. They call it “The Golden Window.”

Unfortunately, most people’s insurance is woefully inadequate, cutting them off after 30 sessions. Ryan was fortunate enough to be able to have more than 150 sessions. That’s five times more than the average SCI patient! Ryan’s access to rehabilitation services has made a huge difference in his recovery. He’s walking today because of it!

$1,000

Will fund 4 additional rehab sessions.

$2,500

Will fund 10 additional rehab sessions.

$5,000

Will fund 20 additional rehab sessions.

$10,000

Will fund a manual wheelchair and 20 additional rehab sessions.

$15,000

“Ryan is helping me get an elevator installed in my house. With that I’ll be able to be more connected to my boys and be a better parent.”
