Everyone at the Greenville Breeze Group Christmas party had a great time. We had good food, nice decorations and great gifts.
Merry Christmas!
Our next meeting is January 15th (3rd Thursday). 2026 starts on a Thursday, so this why it on the 15th.

♿ Peer Mentorship Program — Learn From Those Who’ve Been There ♿

Living with a spinal cord injury and managing care comes with a learning curve — and no one understands it better than someone who’s already navigated their spinal cord injury journey.

Our Peer Mentorship Program connects individuals with spinal cord injuries and wheelchair users to share real-life knowledge, tips, and support. From accessibility hacks and navigating systems like HASCI waivers, Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, and Employment, to vehicle and home modifications and day-to-day problem-solving, this program is about learning the “tricks of the trade” from people who truly get it.

✨ Now seeking both mentors and mentees!
Whether you’re looking for guidance or ready to share what you’ve learned, your experience matters.

📧 Or contact Sherwood directly to sign up or ask questions: sherwood@scspinalcord.org

Because lived experience is one of the most powerful tools we have. 💙
