BIAW staff along with Fox Valley members represented at NASHIA State of the States conference this past week in Portland, Maine! Such great information on all things brain injury including unhoused and incarcerated individuals with brain injuries and what steps others have taken to support them! We did sneak in some networking on a cold and windy (but still fun) boat tour at the end of the week, we were able to help support pups in training from Mission Working Dogs and eat a little bit of fresh lobster! We have a lot of ideas for Wisconsin and will be working hard in grant year three to get some of those ideas started! One of the sculptures I saw around Portland resonated with me… we are standing on the shoulders of others passed before us and are helping those in the future of brain injury… ❤️❤️

Awhile back, the Blugold Brain Injury Group (BBIG) started a project based off a discussion we had in group about dementia. We wanted to give back to our community, so along with fundraising efforts from then, some beautiful donations from Suzzanne S. and her quilting group, and a combined effort of BBIG members and BIAW staff we were finally able to complete this project! We were able to donate a total of 10 baby dolls and three puppies wrapped in handmade quilts to area Memory Care Units—one of which was the impetus for the idea based off the loving care my grandfather got. I was even able to hug a staff member that had cared for him and it brought tears to my eyes. Colfax Senior Living, Bee Hive Memory Care and Grace Lutheran Communities at Prairie Point and Grace Edgewood were the recipients of our heartfelt love we all put into these babies and pups. Our hope to bring some comfort and smiles to others was achieved in big ways. I saw firsthand how much these donations meant to people with dementia and their amazing support care workers. ‘Precious’ was mentioned by one recipient of a doll, her words and smile melted my heart. I could have spent all day with them there, getting stories of their pups and babies and hugging them all. Thank you all who played a part in this project. Remember you can make a big difference in small ways, everyday of your life… and despite our brain injuries, I can say we made a difference❤️
