\"\"Have you ever met somebody that was so full of joy that it was contagious?\u00a0 Even when facing hardship, somehow they still wear a smile?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what it was like when we met Rebeca. She\u2019s a young 23 year old woman with an amazing smile and spontaneous energy. If you only saw her face, you wouldn\u2019t know that her life just had a radical tragedy.<\/p>\n

Rebeca was injured doing something that all of us do without much thought or concern - taking a shower<\/em>. While going through her normal morning routine she slipped and fell, fracturing multiple vertebrae causing a T-11 spinal cord injury.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"This disability doesn't take anything away from you, if anything it gives you a lot of hope and power because others are there to help.\"<\/h3>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

We met her during our Newly Injured Support Outreach<\/a> at Casa Colina. We visit there every week to lead a support group and teach patients how to cope, adapt and triumph after a paralyzing accident or illness.<\/p>\n

We meet hundreds of people each year, but there\u2019s something special about Rebeca. At her first meeting she was nervous and reluctant to go, but by the second or third she was eager to participate - not just to share her own experience, but to encourage others and motivate them to make the best of their therapy and pursue life with a passion.
