Amy is my sister and is a joy and one of the "funnest" people you'll ever know. That hasn't changed since her stroke, and now the people at her senior center get to enjoy her every week!

I was delighted to see an article in a paper outside of my home state, Michigan, about TBI. I work at a rehabilitation center in Michigan that specializes in treating the TBI. I have seen first hand, over the past 20 years of work, the devastating affects of TBI. Happily,I have also seen some amazing recoveries, what some would call miracles. Amy is my cousin and it was very difficult to listen to all the struggles she encountered-due to those who didn't know how to handle the change in Amy, the struggles of her early treatment, as well as Amy just learning how to live a fulfilling life again. I was so happy she called me and told me about this article. It is clear she has found a 'home' where she is working and has a connection to the world again and feels like a contributor. I hope the world will become more aware of the needs of the TBI. I am so proud of my cousin and all her hard work and appreciate all those who have helped her-I have heard about you all. This article highlights one of those happy endings.
