“The biggest lesson is I will tackle anything that comes my way and I will persevere. That’s really empowering to know about oneself and I didn’t know that before.”

Kara Toomey woke up in 2017 unable to move. Since then, she has been making strides towards greater independence and mobility with help from a community-based fundraising campaign with Help Hope Live.
