We encourage TBI survivors to submit a shoe application if they are a TBI-er focusing on body movement through walking; maybe they’re at a point in recovery where they can incorporate light jogging.
SMILE #UWokeUp educates our communities about traumatic brain injuries. One of our focus groups is movement and how one becomes re-acclimated to exercise/body movement. We encourage TBI survivors to find their ‘movement’ again, starting with the feet – after all, feet are the foundation of our bodies.
To apply, review the following before submitting your shoe application:
-
- Are you a TBI survivor?
- Have you started the rehabilitation process by taking your first steps? (We may request further information to ensure you’re a candidate for our program.)
- Are you able to travel for a foot scan?
If you’ve answered YES to these questions, please apply by emailing this form to smileuwokeup@gmail.com.
One of the ways we fund these initiatives is through our SmileUWokeUp store. By supporting our store, you directly contribute to providing shoes to brain injury survivors to find their movement. Every purchase helps guarantee that these vital programs remain free of charge, allowing survivors to focus on their recovery.
Join us in our mission to inspire and uplift TBI survivors. By supporting SmileUWokeUp, you become a part of a community dedicated to turning setbacks into comebacks, spreading smiles, and celebrating every milestone in the journey of recovery.
Together, we can make a significant difference. Visit our store and support brain injury survivors in finding their movement again. For more information, visit our website at SmileU Woke Up (SMILE #UWokeUp).
