W.I.S.H.: Walking in Support and Hope
Sabine Summerville and Kate Ousley cofound a private Facebook group called W.I.S.H.: Walking in Support and Hope. The primary focus is providing support and information for families suffering the effects of non-fatal drowning accidents, which includes the brain injury itself, plus the wide spectrum of emotional and psychological difficulties that accompany this type of injury. Besides virtual support, members have connected with other families in their communities through the group. The site currently has 340 members. In addition to providing each other with support, the network also shares experiences that demonstrate our children are cognizant and attempting to communicate.
The Facebook is a closed group. Please contact Sabine at sabine.in.tx@gmail.com for more information.
