Your
contribution is both a tremendous help financially, and a
great indication that you are aware of the devastating effects
of a traumatic or acquired brain injury, that can happen to
anybody, at any age, at any moment, anywhere, without any
consideration of social level, culture, or belief.
Unfortunately, in our today's society governed by the power of money,
not a chance a given to those who simply don't have the financial means
to cover the cost of Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy treatments. For example,
a session can range from $100 to $150. Even though big improvements have
been noticed in many survivors after 10 to 20 sessions - even after months
or years after the initial accident occured - each survivor is a unique
case and noticeable improvement can be different from one individual to
another - an average of 40 sessions minimum is to be considered. Do the
math and you will see that HBOT doesn't come cheap ( minimum of $4000
for 40 treatments). And HBOT for brain injury, just like tens of other
medical conditions is not covered by any insurance.
That's why our mission, until HBOT is approved for all these conditions
and especially for TBI and ABI, and even beyond, will be to bring hope
and help financially those who cannot afford these treatments out of their
own pockets.
By donating, you are supporting our efforts to make many, many people's
hope, dream, come true. To get their life back!
"We believe in the Power of Plenty! Many people giving small amounts will together contribute in making big changes in survivors' life"
Your donation is tax deductible, to the fullest extent of the law.

be aware that if you decide to donate, The INCOME TAX RECEIPT

thank you so much for your generosity and contribution.

LEGACY GIFTS

As of November 18th, 2009, the Foundation still in its early stages, doesn't have an office for managing its daily operations. Meetings and working sessions are held in different locations. We are looking at finding office premises that would allow us to work and carry out our mission more efficiently. Because we try to put all the monies we raise into directly helping the brain injury survivors in paying for the costs of HBOT treatments, we cannot really afford to pay for an office rental and other bills such as electricity, gas, insurances....etc. Therefore, we appeal to your generosity.
If you want to help us by providing us with premises that you don't
use for a long period of time, or even better, if you want to rid
yourself of a nonproducing property, an office space that you do
not use. please contact us. For convenience reason, we are looking
at premises in the Coquitlam - Coquitlam Centre area. But any other
location will be taken into consideration.
Speak with your financial advisor about Real-Estate Tax deduction. You could possibly avoid capital gains tax on highly appreciated property and by donating a property instead of selling it outright, as a real-estate donor you could avoid paying brokers' fees.
