My Nonprofit Reviews

Overnight, I went from being a physically fit and totally healthy young mother and wife, to complete paralysis from a massive brain stem stroke with less than one in a million odds to survive. After acute rehabilitation, I needed to find support and others who could understand my struggles. It was difficult to find a support group that could relate to someone young with two toddlers. I became connected with this stroke support organization through a friend and instantly felt welcomed. Together we have learned and shared our journeys, and reclaimed our lives.

Stroke support is so important in the survivor’s journey and so is finding the right group! This has been wonderful support during my own stroke recovery, and now as a social worker, I refer all my clients to the Stroke Support Association for both the survivor and the caregiver ~ Kate Adamson, MSW
