Support for Carl's Stroke Recovery

In November of 2015, Carl suffered a stroke which has caused him to become physically disabled, and unable to speak. Recovery has been a struggle, with communication being the biggest hurdle. Carl will be going to the Ability Lab in Chicago to attend an intensive, month long stroke rehabilitation program, in hopes to gain more control over his body and ability to communicate. We are hoping to raise funds to help with the medical and travel costs of the trip, which are not covered by insurance.

We appreciate any help or sharing!
