My Nonprofit Reviews

We were so fortunate to learn about the support groups offered for Survivors and for Caregivers . My father received encouragement from other stroke survivors. The support and information we received helped us to learn ways to help our father obtain the assistance he needed, helped us all to cope with the changes and challenges that come with stroke.

When our father suffered a stroke, my sister and I were not completely sure what a stroke was. When we learned the affects of the stroke, to say we were surprised would be an understatement. We also learned then that strokes are much more common than we knew. I wondered - if stroke is so common and mostly Preventable, then Why are we not told more about stroke?

In one moment Dad had gone from living a very active life, enjoying his days of retirement to having lost his ability to speak, swallow, read, write, walk and the use of one hand. Although he never regained his ability to speak, we knew that because of the friends he made and the support he received helped him look forward to tomorrow.

You will not find a more supportive or dedicated group of people, both Stroke Survivors and Caregivers, than those who attend and all the volunteers that have made this organization last over 30 yrs.

Thank you!!
