Your Donation Provides "Hope Against Pain"
Reaching our first $10,000 gets us closer to our $300K goal to create a state-wide program for individuals who live with chronic pain so that we can instill hope, resources, support, and community to empower them to live whole and fulfilling lives.
Every day, in communities across the country, people wake up to loneliness and uncertainty due to long-term chronic pain. Whether due to an accident or illness, their lives have been forever changed. Their hopes and dreams have been taken away. Feeling separated from society, it becomes a day-to-day struggle to cope, to have a basic quality of life.
When asking for pain medication, they are often considered an addict and are told to learn to live with the pain. Where they should be receiving help, they are being made to feel that they are a burden. Family and friends, who want to help, do not know what to say as they are unable to relate. Frustration builds as relationships fail. The person only wants to be heard and understood, to be a part of society.
Hope Against Pain is an action-based, peer-to-peer support group designed specifically to address chronic pain. Using our proprietary workbook members are taken along a path to improvement while interacting with others living with chronic pain. Our virtual meetings and separate-closed support groups ensure our fellow chronic pain sufferers that they are not alone, even when inside their own homes.
Throughout the program, our members begin seeing an improvement in their quality of life. Their families and friends feel more comfortable spending time with their loved ones.
Your donation helps us provide workbooks and meeting times for people in your communities. Most likely you know someone yourself who could benefit from Hope Against Pain.
