This generous donation allows us to continue to provide necessary care for the child that has lung difficulties, and needs a ventilator to breathe. Or for the child that sustained a traumatic brain injury due to an unforeseen accident.
"As the late Dana Reeve once stated, our Quality of Life grants are about freedom," said Peter T. Wilderotter, president of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. "Ranken Jordan provides hope for individuals living with paralysis and their caregivers who are everyday striving to improve their physical and emotional well-being. We are honored to help Ranken Jordan continue the heartfelt mission that Dana Reeve herself started back in 1999."
