December 2020; The Story of Mr. M
Ali Rendely, MD

Sometimes being at the front of the line is a bonus – best seats, first access, newest purchase. But sometimes, being the first comes with risks and challenges.

Within a few short days it was hard for him to breathe.

Esther, OTR/L

​After seeing several paraplegic patients return to the hospital after being discharged home, I noticed that many were losing hope, motivation, self-respect, and self-confidence, mainly due to a lack of financial independence.
