Amazing Grace!

We've been sharing a lot of cool event announcements lately (we'd love for you to join us, btw), but this story gets to the heart of what Triumph is really all about.

It’s about meeting people at the toughest moments of their lives, after a paralyzing injury, and giving them hope.

Most importantly, we connect them with you, our Triumph Family, who welcome them with open arms, educating and empowering them to maximize their recovery and rebuild their lives.

I want to introduce you to Grace, one of the amazing young people we have the opportunity to meet. At twenty years-old, she is full of adventure and dreams for her future.

Last April, Grace took to the hills on her very first ride on an ATV. But without warning, her fun adventure took a tragic and life-altering turn.

The vehicle flipped multiple times, and landed on her side. She soon learned that she had been paralyzed from the waist down.

Grace’s world changed in an instant.

She was no longer able to work as a day care teacher. She couldn't climb the stairs to her bedroom or shower on her own. Everyday routines became moment-to-moment challenges.

And yet, from the moment we met Grace and her family at HealthBridge Children’s Hospital in Orange County, one thing was clear -- this young woman had strength beyond measure.

Because of your support, Triumph Foundation was able to show up for Grace with a Care Pack full of resources, encouragement, and support, right when she needed it most.

When she was finally discharged, Grace reached out again. She was in need of a lightweight wheelchair, and Triumph was able to provide exactly what she needed to reclaim freedom and mobility.

Watch Grace’s Momentum video story below and see how support from people like you continues to create stories of resilience!
