We are highlighting our new \"circle of care\" graphic describing Triumph\u2019s programs.<\/p>\n

It starts with our Newly Injured Support Program helping people at the beginning of their journey with hope, education, and encouragement. If you missed it, check it out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Next is how we help people move forward by supplying critical adaptive equipment.<\/p>\n

Below, I'll introduce you to Katelyn, Isaac and Amanda. Through our Grants & Equipment Program, they now have what they need to re-engage the community and to keep moving forward. Our goal is to help them complete the circle of care, and then in turn, have them help the next person in their journey.<\/p>\n

What do you need to move forward?<\/strong> During this time of self-isolation, you might just need some good news to brighten your day.<\/p>\n

I hope these stories bring you joy and make you proud to be a member of our Triumph Family!<\/p>\n

If you need something more, don't hesitate to reach out.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The enormous financial strain of purchasing necessary equipment, supplies and services is one of the toughest parts of life after spinal cord injury. Your support helps us provide Grants to people in need<\/a>. You also help us refurbish and repurpose used goods to give away to those in need through our Equipment Exchange<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are four people whose lives are better thanks to you!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Katelyn: Adapted Van Winner<\/h3>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

One of the most amazing gifts we occasionally receive are adaptive vehicles. We run essay contests to identify potential candidates who could benefit greatly by receiving a gifted van. We are excited to announce our recent van donation recipient, Katelyn!<\/p>\n

On Thanksgiving Day of 1996, when she was 3-years-old, Katelyn was riding in the car with her mom and sister. They were involved in a horrific accident. Katelyn was the lone survivor, but suffered a C-6\/7 spinal cord injury.<\/p>\n

Despite her struggles, she grew up determined to become successful. She moved out on her own and is now in her final year of college at Cal State Northridge earning her Masters degree in Social Work.<\/p>\n

Upon completion of adapted drivers training (provided through a Triumph Grant), she earned her license. She then applied to our essay contest hoping to receive a van to help her keep moving forward in pursuing her career after graduation.<\/p>\n

We recently surprised Katelyn with a van of her own! Watch the video below:<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
