I have recently become a volunteer for the National Stroke Assn., Kentucky Chapter. My motivation was spurred by a stroke my grandmother suffered a few years ago. Stroke is SCARY, as the effects are so varied.
I decided to learn even more and "give back" to a group that helped us so much in dealing with Nanna's issues.
I've been so impressed with all the truly caring people that reach out to this community. Recently I "worked" an event where we did educational info, to help more folks be aware of warnings and signs of stroke or impending stroke. SO many people thanked us for this event.
I look forward to continue my "work" with the Stroke Assn and the fine folks who reach out in this time of need and despair, with hope and support.

I am both a Client Served and a Volunteer. My husband had a massive stroke 12 years ago and his health journey has been a constant roller coaster ride. The storke association has offered help and guidance but most important of all they are a compassionate heart that listens. The role of caregiver is often as difficult as being the patient. I know first hand you cannot handle it alone. The doctors and medical community can only give your so much support. The patient and caregiver both need emotional as well as physical support. I know when my husband has a new issue or need the Kentucky - Indiana Stroke Association will know where to send me. And when I am tired and overwhelmed they are always there to support. me.

I recently moved to Louisville, KY and the day that I was packing the truck to move, my mom had a stroke. My grandma passed after having multiple strokes and we found out that my mom has had multiple strokes and didn't even know it. I wanted to become involved with an organization that helped to educate people on prevention, signs, warnings, etc., and my limited time with KSISA has shown me that they work very hard to give back to their community and the stroke patients and families that need the support. I am very impressed by their efforts. KSISA is the type of organization that you want to work with to provide them with more help/resources to be able to educate and serve more people.

KSISA does a tremendous job of getting out and educating the public about every aspect of strokes. If any business or group of any kind wants them on site, they are there in a heartbeat. I have been volunteering with them for over five years now. Unlike some, I don't have a family member or close friend that has had a stroke. What I have learned over the years is that strokes can touch anyone at any age, even if they are in good physical shape. Knowing the symptoms and getting immediate assistance is one of many of the important issues KSISA gets out there. Also providing excellent resouces so individuals can follow up with their concerns. In addition KSISA does amazing things with the small funding they receive. They wholeheartedly deserve the recognition fitting of their work.

My mom had a stroke in 2008, and shortly after I got involved with KSISA. This organization is very close to my heart, and the work they do makes such a huge difference in the lives of so many. Stroke affects everyone differently; but, no matter the effects, your life is changed forever. The support system that KSISA provides is vital for those living with stroke, along with friends and family, to move forward.

As a stroke survivor, I am so thankful for KSISA and the support they gave me. My desire is that stroke awareness becomes so obvious to this community that everyone reacts immediately to the symptoms, and.....KSISA is striving to this end. Thanks for the leadership of KSISA in taking this desire seriously.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the health fairs by distributing and discussing stroke with interested community members.
