A Grandmother's Journey to Regain Her Voice and Embrace Life Anew
Nationwide
Join us in supporting an extraordinary woman on her path to recovery after a life-altering stroke. Meet our much loved mum and grandmother, Sara, who, with unwavering determination, has been accepted into the groundbreaking UPLIFT (UPper limb and Language Impairment and Functional Training) trial program at the University of Melbourne. This innovative research aims to restore arm movement and reawaken communication abilities for stroke survivors this visionary initiative has been established across multiple sites in Australia, striving to transform the lives of stroke survivors like her.
Imagine the joy in Sara's heart when she envisions holding her beloved grandchildren again and engaging in heartfelt conversations. The UPLIFT trial offers a glimmer of hope that she can reclaim these memories. We need your help to ensure Sara can participate fully in this program. The costs associated with the four-week rehabilitation period at the clinic in Townsville, is a significant hurdle due to being 5 hours from home and our dad, Klem, having stopped work to become her fulltime caregiver.
Your support will not only provide her with the opportunity to access this transformative trial but also contribute to advancing stroke rehabilitation for others. Every dollar brings us closer to our goal of giving her the strength to rise above adversity, and enabling her to embrace life's precious moments once more. Join us in this empowering journey and help us unlock hope for a brighter future!
