Mission
Jodi House empowers brain injury survivors to not merely survive, but thrive. A brain injury can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Whether due to an auto accident, sports injury, stroke, tumor, or one of the countless other causes, chances are you, or someone you know, has been affected by a brain injury.
Begin to Build a Relationship
We know you care about where your money goes and how it is used. Connect with this organization’s leadership in order to begin to build this important relationship. Your email will be sent directly to this organization’s director of development and/or Executive Director.
Jodi House fills a critical gap in services that would otherwise exist for brain injury survivors as they reintegrate into our community after a life-changing injury. I have proudly served on the Board for the past five years and have been so impressed by the difference that Jodi House’s comprehensive services make in the lives of survivors and their families. It’s been inspiring to see the organization continue to grow its reach under the direction of the Board, the executive leadership of Lindsey Black, and the launch of its online programming. Jodi House is truly a community treasure.
After a Life-Changing Injury Providing Vital Support and Resources
Nearly 80% of Jodi House’s members face financial hardship.
“Survivors of brain injury often experience lasting difficulties with thinking, behavior, and mobility that prevent them from returning to work,” says Lindsey Black, Jodi House’s executive director. “Jodi House ensures that no one is ever denied services due to inability to pay.”
$5,000 funds a full year of comprehensive services for a survivor, helping them regain independence and live their best lives. $500 provides vital caregiver support and education.
