My wife was a stay at home mom full time. Now, the roles reversed. Being a one income family, now we had to face the obstacles of daycare, lodging for weekend visit from the family, where would the next meal come from? How am I going to get to and from the outpatient facility? How would I navigate important doctor appointments? How do I start the process of disability? These are just a few obstacles that I had to face. My focus on Stroke recovery now became secondary.

My new motivation is now making sure that the next Stroke Survivor do not travel down this road. Rachel and I, both lived this nightmare as a Young Empowerd Stroke Survivor by establishing this foundation for other Stroke Survivors.
