Help HOPE Live for Cynthia Noonan

Thriving after the unexpected

Earlier this month I had an amazing week in Missoula, Montana with @empowerspinalcordinjury ! I and nine other SCI participants were treated to a week of so much goodness, There were highly skilled OT’s and PT’s to work with, yoga, dancing, counseling, cycling, day on the lake and lots of ice cream. All the attendant care was provided as well and everyone there volunteered their time! I had a lot of trepidation about being outside of my comfort zone and it felt like a trust fall. Thankfully I was caught and so cared for. The coordination by the leaders and the incredible positive energy of every single person there created a special sauce where friendships were formed quickly and easily, smiles and laughs were constant and my chronic pain and anxiety were dulled to a whisper. The whole week was like catching lightening in a bottle.

Coming back to reality has been a difficult reentry, but I take my quiet moments to harness that good juju. Thank you all for your contributions that make experiences like this a reality!

Thank you all for your generosity! We are getting so close to our initial matching goal, and it’s incredible! Thanks to you, Cynthia can look forward to continued therapy at home for a year, as well as a trip to do intensive therapy with experts. She and Trevor can look forward to hiring respite care for the next few months, to give him a chance to relax, and she'll be able purchase the installation of an EZ Locke on her new power chair so she can continue to drive, increasing her independence!

Let’s keep this momentum going! If we get beyond our $15,000 matching goal, Cynthia can be confident of paying for her continued therapy beyond those months, and may even be able to purchase a new manual assist chair that will allow her to travel more comfortably.
