With SCIboston. SCIboston has announted the continuation of its quality of life grant program for individuals with a spinal cord injury or disorder and will rename it The Travis Roy Legacy Grant Program. The Travis Roy Foundation was established to help other spinal cord injury survivors and to fund research. The Travis Roy Foundation was dedicated to helping spinal cord injury survivors live more independent and hopeful lives through adaptive equipment grants.
* SCIboston (formerly the Greater Boston Chapter of United Spinal Association and RISE Above Paralysis) has assisted thousands of people- injured and family members alike- who have been affected by traumatic spinal cord injuries (SCIs).
* They offer support groups and one-on-one support, understanding, and guidance. Peer mentors and compassionate community show that rich and fulfilling lives are possible in the aftermath of injury.
* “Receiving this funding means SCIboston will be able to continue to offer quality of life grants to the Spinal Cord Injury Community. This includes funding for hospital beds, shower chairs, vehicle modifications, assistive technology and other durable medical equipment that will ultimately enhance an individual’s quality of life.
Grants up to $5,000 are available to qualified individuals in MA, NH, VT, ME and RI.
