Life with paralysis can be grueling
Financial Stress
Lifetime costs for a spinal cord injury can total over $2.5 million per victim. In most cases, insurance only covers 50-65% of these costs over a lifetime.
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain has a major impact on the lives of people with paralysis - interfering with daily activities, mood, social interactions, and sleep.
Feeling Isolated
The suicide rate among spinal cord injury patients is nearly 5 times that of the general population. It is incredibly hard to live with paralysis on your own.

Casey McGinnis, a 38-year-old stroke survivor, faced significant challenges after a severe stroke on September 6, 2024. The stroke occurred during surgery to remove a brain tumor, leaving Casey with left-sided weakness, limited use of their left arm and hand, and slight movement in their left leg. After spending six weeks in a critical rehabilitation hospital, Casey returned to live with their parents in a home that was not wheelchair accessible, presenting further barriers to recovery and independence.
