Brainstorming 4 Us, Inc.

Your gift will help a family living with brain injury.

Thanks

Brainstorming 4 Us, Inc. would like to acknowledge its partnership with the following sponsors who have committed their time and resources into making the Brain Injury Resource Kits a reality in Trauma Centers, Sub Acute Hospitals and available to Survivors and their families of TBI absolutely free.


Brain Injury Resource Bags

We provide Brain Injury Resource Bags to hospitals and trauma centers for distribution to individuals and families dealing with a loved one hospitalized due to Brain Injury or Aneurysm. We feel that it is critical to a successful recovery to learn as much as possible about brain injury and the long-term effects in order for family and friends to appropriately provide care and support.

For those who wish to obtain a Brain Injury Resource book it will be furnished at no charge. A hard copy of the book is available for a $25.00 donation which covers the cost of shipping and handling.

At present, we distribute these bags free of charge to Loma Linda University Hospital, Arrowhead Regional Hospital, Riverside Community Hospital and Desert Regional Hospital. These hospitals provide the bags free of charge to anyone admitted with a head injury so the family can learn how to better understand the results of brain injury and how to provide support to their loved one.
 
We are currently negotiating with Trauma Hospitals to make these bags available to anyone admitted with a head injury. Our bags are making their way through many states trauma hospital and soon hope to have them in most United States Trauma Hospitals.

You don't have to wait for your Brain Bag to get the information you need. Get the PDF versions of the documents here
