Review for High Fives Nonprofit Foundation, Truckee, CA, USA
I am incredibly grateful to the High Fives Foundation and all of the work that they do! The organization and all of their staff are very caring, always willing to help and extremely accessible.
I suffered a series of recurring knee injuries while playing sports and staying active as a child. Ultimately, this resulted in severe atrophy of the muscles in my legs and limited range of motion, leaving my knees fused in extension. Through much of my childhood and teenage years, I felt very limited in what sports I could do and how to stay active. Over time, I have learned to be comfortable with my disability and engage in more adaptive sports. The grant from High Fives will further reinforce that, giving me the freedom to explore the outdoors and join friends and family on the ski slopes!
