Project Overview

We need a volunteer to help us identify potential sources for a grant that would be a good match for our organization and vision. We'd like them to take the lead in collaboration with the founder and core team on grant development and writing.

This funding would support our vision to change the mindset around living with an acquired disability. We need not be defined by a medical diagnosis or disability. Supporting our work and the creation of a short film/video will serve as a catalyst for engagement and further discussion with our provider community around a new paradigm that nurtures the potential for a positive new ability and post-traumatic growth. In particular, this is a call to action for the medical and rehabilitation community to reimagine their relationship with patients in a way that supports full human flourishing.

We have a core team dedicated to the vision and a transdisciplinary task force that has been meeting for the past two years to explore these concepts around disability and opportunities to make a profound difference in terms of best practices. We continue to welcome and vet through our online platform stories and interviews that support our vision and serve as a general resource for patients, providers, and caregivers, as well as material for the planned film/video. We've identified a creative filmmaker who is willing to work with us during this process and within a realistic budget. We're actively recruiting volunteers to help with other fundraising efforts and community outreach.

Nonprofit Overview

We provide a place for individuals from around the world who, despite enormous medical challenges, have successfully found meaning and purpose in their lives to share their stories of rehabilitation and healing through personal narrative, poetry, photography, video, artwork, and music.

We need not be defined by a medical diagnosis or a disability since we are so much more. Through our work, we are championing a new mindset around disability and human flourishing.
One of our key areas of focus is working with the medical and rehabilitation professional community to reimagine an expanded role that nurtures the possibility of post-traumatic growth.
