United Spinal Association member Marcela, who uses a wheelchair as the result of a spinal cord injury, visits newly injured SCI patients at the hospital every week, offering counseling, understanding, and a New Beginning Backpack.
In celebration of #GivingTuesday—a day set aside for people to give back to their communities—United Spinal Association offers various ways people can help strengthen and encourage wheelchair users and others with disabilities.
Programs it offers include Advocacy Alliance and Ask VetsFirst. In addition, persons with disabilities, their family members, caregivers, professionals and interested individuals can join United Spinal Association to be part of the community. Also, donations are always welcome, per a media release from United Spinal Assocation.
