Salute the Fight Foundation

Salute the Fight Foundation The Salute the Fight Foundation serves the Spinal Cord Injury community. Mission #1: Donating our “Going Home Tote” to newly injured Quads.

Our primary goal is to assist newly injured members and families as they transition home to their new lives. An overwhelming amount of items are required in a short period of time when newly injured quads first go home. Most items are essential to quads overall health and not the ability to continue therapy learned from rehab. The desire to continue therapy is a priority and there can be many hurd

les to overcome such at setting up outpatient therapy, transportation and any wound healing needed. Our “Going Home Tote” contains a pair of active hands gloves used for gripping and therapy bands. These easy and simple items allow quads to continue some simple, yet much needed therapy workouts at home. In addition, we add in a shower tray used to wash your hair while sitting in a power wheelchair. It may be many weeks or months from the time of injury to going home for quads. While going thru the initial recovery and therapy, showering isn’t a possibility and washing your hair isn’t an easy option. Once home, having the ability to back up to a sink and easily wash their hair is an amazing feeling afterwards. In the meantime, learning and adapting quads houses and lives for showering takes a little time but will come. Having a shower tray in the short term to properly wash their hair in the short term is a big morale boost. Mission #2: To the newly injured, coming home means waiting for rehabilitation items to be funded and/or approved by insurance or special programs. For us, we feel that our community can share and donate certain items to help the newly injured in getting equipment immediately. This equipment is to help them continue their healing and rehabilitation right when they get home and beyond. Receiving and distributing items from other members of the Spinal Cord Injured community is what the Salute the Fight Foundation facilitates. Donations help fund the costs of transporting and locating items for newly injured quads needing and waiting on equipment. The Salute the Fight Foundation is built upon the amazing spirit we experienced from others thru our families spinal cord injury. The small steps towards having a good day make the journey for a quad and their families bright, better and encouraging after such trauma. #4:13

We put in the miles this weekend and made a delivery to a great new friend who recently came home after a long recovery hospital phase. The pic is satisfying because the time spent with our friend, and the standing frame delivered was truly a great moment for all of us. The bugs represent the push for more. Thanks for supporting Salute the Fight Foundation and keep trying for more everyday!

Check out the founder of Salute The Fight getting his disability drivers license. He completed over 30 hours of seat time with an amazing instructor and passed his drivers test.

It took some time figuring out what different adaptations work and didn’t work for him. There’s many different configurations and devices so now he know’s what works and he’s able to drive. Next step is a van conversion.

He remembers when he first came home from TIRR nearly four months after his injury and making the decision to not let this injury make his world small. This accomplishment is going expand his world in a huge way and he’s so excited about it!

Never give up and live for more everyday! We salute your fight!
