Live Life so you never have to say, “I should have.”
I have lived like this, because at an early age I was brutally beaten and kidnapped while walking to school and acquired a traumatic head injury with a seizure disorder and a lifetime of recovery.

I hope to be one voice that speaks out for them/us in a World that is not listening, understanding, or providing much in the way of assistance to people with TBI when we are in need.
