Encompass Health contribution allows AHIF to return to week-long TBI Camp
|
|
For 15+ years, AHIF provided a week-long TBI camp at beautiful Camp ASCCA in Jackson's Gap, AL. Due to financial constraints, AHIF had to switch to a shorter weekend camp 7 years ago. This year, due to a generous gift from Encompass Health, formerly HealthSouth, AHIF once again offered its week-long camp experience from August 12-17, 2018! As you can see in the pictures below, it was a wonderful time!
Jill's Story
13 YEARS AGO, I had a motorized scooter wreck, crashed, and hit my head on the cement traveling at about 15-20 MPH (No, I was not wearing a helmet)… I suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI), concussions, contusions, and my brain was bleeding. I had a large amount of blood trapped between my skull and my brain, causing pressure on my brain itself. I was airlifted to Children’s in Birmingham, thinking that surgery was going to be needed, and somehow, when I landed, all of the blood was gone. It was a miracle! I was blessed to not have any long-term health problems from the accident, and was able to return to a normal life pretty soon afterwards.
Since this experience, I have become a Regional Board Member of the Alabama Head Injury Foundation. Even though I did not have any effects from my brain injury, many people who experience TBIs do. This is where the Alabama Head Injury Foundation comes in. They are a non-profit organization that provide help and assistance to the patients and families affected by brain injuries. I am asking that you join me and consider "Helping Us Do More With 84," by setting up a small, $7 monthly contribution to help those who have been impacted by traumatic brain injury!

These supporters have joined our "Brain Trust" by becoming monthly donors, giving $84 each year to sponsor 1 TBI survivor. To learn more, click the green box above.
