Freedom House started as a dream between two mothers regarding their adult children who both suffer from traumatic brain injuries. Both were looking for a safe and secure place for their children to live independently. They found the possibilities were scarce and far too expensive, so they met and began putting a plan together. They wanted an affordable home that would accommodate people who could live independently but safely.
Freedom House will be a group home specifically for people who have acquired brain injuries. It will be a place of security -- a home where the residents can return to at the end of the day. From here, residents can go to work, to the doctor or therapy appointments, attend school or just shop.
People living at Freedom House will build a new extended family -- meeting and making new friends who have also acquired brain injuries through auto accidents, strokes, anoxia, aneurisms or military injuries.
In addition to providing a place to live, Freedom House will also make outside activities available to residents. There will be access to public transportation to get them where they need to go within the community. Plans for Freedom House include full-time staff members, on duty around the clock to provide meals; manage medications and supervise household activities. There will be security doors for peace of mind but people can check in and out when they want to leave the premises.
We are soliciting donations to finance our first Freedom House which we plan to open in 2010.
Both military and civilians with traumatic brain injuries will be welcome. And if you want to help them fulfill their dreams of becoming the independent people they strive to be every day, we’d welcome your support!
Thank you for your interest in Freedom House.
From the Board of Directors
