Mind Your Brain Fund to Support Survivors of Brain Injury
Mind Your Brain Foundation is partnering with Help Hope Live to support survivors of brain injuries. Help Hope Live will assist survivors with fundraising for medical expenses and other rehabilitation related needs.
Mind Your Brain Foundation is committed to filling the gaps in the continuity of care and providing opportunities for survivors of brain injuries to receive additional funding support if needed, along with resources, and information to further promote their recovery and access to continued rehabilitation.
Survivors of brain injury can request funding for up to $1000 from the Mind Your Brain Foundation to go toward their Help Hope Live campaign. These funds can pay for medical or rehabilitation expenses, assistive technology, adaptive equipment, or durable medical equipment.
Examples include:
- Co-pays for physical, occupational, or speech therapy related to brain injury

- Medical bills related to brain injury care and rehabilitation
- Driving evaluation
