We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing transformative experiences, financial and emotional support to individuals/families experiencing medical crisis and life changing events as well as provide funding for research, education and care for spinal cord injuries.

Katie’s life changed forever on October 26, 2025, when she suffered a cardiac arrest that caused a hypoxic brain injury due to a lack of oxygen to her brain. Once a busy Bloomington mom, wife, and friend, Katie and her family are now navigating significant physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges. She currently uses a wheelchair and attends ongoing therapy as her brain works to form new pathways around the damaged areas. Her recovery may take up to two years, and the extent of her long-term recovery remains uncertain.

Please join us Saturday, April 25 from noon-4pm at Nine Mile Brewing to support Katie and her family.
