In honor of a special person in your life recovering from a stroke, buy a “star” on the Caring Tree created at the Stroke Comeback Center on Park Street. For a $20 donation, a “star” sparkles on the wall of the center, noted with the name of your recipient. The star is hung on the Caring Tree at the Stroke Comeback Center, and an acknowledgment card is sent to recipient. Each star supports the mission of the Stroke Comeback Center, to provide resources and support to stroke survivors, combat wounded veterans, and others with traumatic brain injuries.
Joyce Simmons had a stroke in 2008, and has been coming to the Stroke Comeback Center member since she began her recovery. Until she got her driver’s license back after the stroke, it took Joyce two hours getting to the center from Woodbridge. Joyce’s mother, Khadijah Aquil, purchased a “star” in her daughter’s name.
