Who We Help

Most medical insurance plans cover only 20 - 30 visits to a rehabilitation center

That's not adequate for people who are recovering from catastrophic medical issues such as:

Strokes | Traumatic Brain Injuries | Spinal Cord Injuries

As a result, those patients generally stop recovering once their insurance runs out. They face a life of disability.

Request Funding

The Vision of Falling Forward® is that all patients will have the opportunity to recover to their full potential.
