    I'm trying to find a grant for some real rehabilitation for my what was to be my son in law who was hit by a semi in September 1st 2022 and suffered a severe tbi he's being neglected by parents. They left laying in halix for 7.5 months until Halifax finally packed him and dumped up where he is now suffering neglect at the lowest of low nursing homes him the day he turned 21
    He is talking he can read and count and remembers everything and has full use of his limbs. He just weak and can't even sit up on his own from being left in bed for 7 months. I support him 100% with anything he needs for personal use but I can't afford any rehab for him
    His stole his insurance money neither parent has bought so much as a bar of soap. We've made reports to the state but don't see any results. This young man was the most responsible respectful sweetest boy. And his life was snatched away. All I want is him to have some sort of quality of life. We are located in central Florida.

      With private insurance my son only got to have 60 days "lifetime " benefits for inpatient rehab. He needs so much more and wants to get better. Its sad now how hard it is to get them help they need. Prayers for him.

      This is a shocking story. Best wishes to you and I hope there's some help. I'm in Australia. My wife went through this, so your story resonates. But here the govt looks after you. It's 5 years ago now and she got half a million dollars of treatment that was all free (everyone pays a health tax here plus mandatory private insurance), and still gets about 100K worth of help per year for the rest of her life due to a levy we all pay with car registration each year. America is such a hard place. One little error and you're gone -- and it can happen to anyone. I don't understand his parents at all. I saw amazing scenes of devotion and care in our system and the brain clinic. Good luck to you all.

    I love watching these recovery stories but when insurance won't cover more than 2 months even with great improvements my son is cheated on his recovery.

    Living with brain damage is a real suffering course because there is no escape, not even a moment's respite. It follows you everywhere like a shadow, even in your dreams where it takes the form of bizarre personifications and strange, broken landscapes.

    I honestly believe yrs ago had doctors cared for the patience with tbi thought he brain could heal itself by getting ppl up and moving and worked with. Alot if tbi ppl wouldn't just be stuck in bed
