Support after a spinal cord injury

After a spinal cord injury (SCI), social support is crucial. A community health worker (CHW)—someone with lived experience—offers guidance, emotional support, and helps people reconnect and rebuild. Additionally, our Guidance & Resources tool provides clear, practical information on medical care, secondary conditions, caregiving, and more.

Monthly giving is important because it: 

  • 🌱 Creates stability: Recurring donations mean predictable income, allowing us to plan ahead and sustain consistent, high-quality programs.

  • 🤝 Empower recovery: Community health workers roll alongside newly injured individuals, helping them build confidence and navigate life after SCI.

  • 🏘️ Build community: Being connected to community is an essential part of thriving after spinal cord injury—and your monthly support helps make those connections possible.

Together, we can create lasting change—one month at a time.
