We’re not sure whether to say thank you or congratulations, so let us happily say both!
BIAF was informed that funding for our organization was not vetoed! This is incredible news for survivors and families of traumatic brain injury and BIAF. This funding will help BIAF keep its doors open and continue to deliver our Traumatic Brain Injury and Support Center and critical Resource Coordination services for Floridians with traumatic brain injury and their families.
Together, we mobilized a very powerful grassroots messaging campaign to the Governor’s office (over 500 individuals in 72 hours!). Your voices were heard and touched the Governor’s office staff deeply.
Seeing emails from all over the state was a revelation. Nothing could have as effectively opened eyes as reading email after email saying, “I am the mother of a survivor, I am the father, a friend, a brother, a sister, a grandmother, a caregiver, a therapist, a Doctor. . . I am a survivor.” Together, all of you made a real difference!
Reading the emails you sent was such a powerful experience that we’ve compiled as many as we could on www.speakupfortbi.org and it is definitely worth a look! If you sent an email we missed, please let us know and we’ll add it to our collection.
