For families navigating paralysis, the questions come fast: What happens next? Who can help us? How do we move forward? For more than two decades, people like Donna Lowich have been there to answer them.
In 1985, following what was expected to be routine surgery at 34 years old, Donna woke up unable to move, suddenly living with a spinal cord injury (SCI). “It was very difficult. I was not getting a lot of positive feedback... It was like, ‘Either I do this on my own or nothing is going to happen.’”
Moments like this define the guidance, reassurance, and someone to help navigate next steps that now exist because of the National Paralysis Resource Center and Information Specialists, like Donna.
We’ve shared Donna’s full story on our website, link in bio.
