Our Mission Statement
To be the leading organization dedicated to providing Hope, Comfort, and Valuable Information to families experiencing a Traumatic Brain Injury with a loved one.
Mothers Against Brain Injury, Inc. is a 501c3 Florida non-profit organization created in 2005 out of compassion & empathy for families experiencing the sudden and unexpected news that a loved one has suffered Traumatic Brain Injury.
Being notified that someone you love has been transported in life threatening condition to a Trauma Center is both devastating and frightening. Your immediate thoughts are to get to the hospital as quickly as possible to be with your loved one. There isn’t time to think about packing for oneself and the enormity of what has just occurred leaves everyone in a fog of uncertainty, desperation and helplessness. No family is ever prepared for this type of event.
Tracy East-Porter and her family suffered through this experience when her 16 yr old son suffered a severe brain injury in a car accidentin Jacksonville, FL in 2004.
Realizing that other families were going through this same experience she recognized a need that was not being met by any other agency to her knowledge. By creating the “Totes of Comfort & Hope” Program, a unique & compassionate way to help families through this very difficult experience was born.
Large reusable canvas tote bags filled with personal toiletries, comfort items, useful tools, information on brain injury & stories of hope & encouragement from others who have shared the experience are lovingly packaged & kept on hand at 22 participating Trauma Centers where they are handed personally to an immediate family member of any person suffering a moderate or severe Traumatic Brain Injury within the first 48 hours of arrival.
