“The Stroke Survivor Foundation is an amazing organization that provided us assistance when we needed it most. It allowed my husband to attend private physical therapy sessions weekly, for 90 minutes, when our insurance would not cover it. The application process was easy and stress-free.
We are so grateful to the Stroke Survivor Foundation for choosing us and we encourage any stroke survivor in need to apply.

“I had a cerebellar stroke at 42yo, that affected my ability to walk. With the grant received from The Stroke Foundation I was able to get more physical therapy at a innovative clinic where the therapists are working with me in intensive sessions to help me learn to walk again.
It's motivating me and giving me hope to do things I never thought I could do again!

“After having a stroke in 2022, I have been doing therapy in various places to regain mobility and speech. Having the opportunity to work with the team at UCF and their aphasia program was great, and then to find out that the application for assistance with the funding from the Stroke Survivor Fund for the program was successful,
felt like receiving a warm hug!
