Did you read about the Florida mom who's put her mind to helping other families of brain injury victims by making their stay in the trauma center just a bit more comfortable? Tracy Porter, whose 16-year-old son was brain injured in a car accident, spent long hours in a trauma center, without a change of clothing, cold and uncomfortable for five days while her son was there. Now she has created a company, Mothers Against Brain Injury, Inc. that packs totebags filled with blanket, pillow, snacks and basic amenities that are given to other brain injury families when they find themselves in the trauma center.

Simple ideas like this, that provide brain injury families with a little more comfort, a little more information and other help, are coming to fruition all over the country. Do you know about a grassroots effort like this that helps our community of brain injury families in some way? Let us know about them. Perhaps other families across the country will be inspired to do something similar.
