“We know firsthand how challenging and life-altering this journey can be, not just for the person with the injury, but for their entire support system,” says Founder Carlos A. Pardo. “Our vision is to build a compassionate, informed and resilient community around spinal cord injury, one that uplifts and empowers individuals through every stage of their transition — from hospital to home, and beyond.” The Foundation is built on 4 pillars: Information & Support: Offering clear, practical resources and emotional guidance; Angels Program: Connecting families with professional student volunteers who live with them and help in daily care while gaining valuable life and professional experience; Therapy Program: Providing access to essential therapies that are often financially out of reach; and Entertainment Program: Creating joyful moments through inclusive recreational and cultural activities; StrengthAndFaith.org.
