Our Stories Can Prove Independence Is Possible
(Scroll down for more options)
Between now and Giving Tuesday (Dec. 1), More Than Walking has set a goal to raise $2000 on Facebook to share the stories and independent living skills of peer mentors with spinal cord injuries and similar disabilities in 2021. Publishing these short stories across our growing social media channels will reach over 3,000 YouTube subscribers, 500,000 views, and inspire hundreds of others like quadriplegic Jonathan Hobbs to share their story on film for the first time. These stories will change perceptions of what's possible for living with spinal cord injuries through the unique challenges that participants have faced and overcome. The More Than Walking Board is generously matching the first $1000 contributed.
The real world impact of your support is evidenced by comments like these on More Than Walking's YouTube Channel.
"I just subscribed. Im a c5 incomplete quad of 24 years. I did really good for 10-15 but after that chronic pain got me down mentally and physically which triggered depression. I went to college and pushing up huge ramps with 45 lbs of books destroyed my shoulders. I got my associates degree in computer programming but after several years of trying nobody wld hire me and that made depression worse. But you've inspired me to get off my ass and try to find something else to live for. Keep up the good work." - Jason G.
