You are Not Alone
My artwork is represented by the quote for Hope Survives. We all have injury, although not, one person or injury is alike. All can hurt in someway, but we are there for one another for encouragement and support. We are a family of Survivors.
Where two or more are gathered God is with us. Healing together
They are Band-Aids on the hearts

Person living with a brain injury

I am a mother, grandmother and great grandmother. I’ve had several Brain injury throughout my lifetime. The last Injury in November of 2023 totally changed my life. I am thankful I found Hope Survives to help with my healing and understand what has happened to me. I thought my life was over until God‘s direction which I am thankful to Hope Survives to help with my “new normal” and purpose in my life.
Creativity brings hope to life.
In 2025, we invited those living with a brain injury from our community to share their artwork for the first-ever Hope Survives Greeting Card Collection. This piece is part of the featured gallery which highlights the artists whose work was selected for our printed cards, available as part of this fundraiser.
