Falling Forward Foundation

What does it look like to truly show up for survivors of catastrophic injuries?

For Steve Tesdahl, it looks like Sam Porritt turning his own life-changing injury into a decade-plus commitment to helping others continue rehabilitation after insurance stops paying.

That kind of dedication does not happen by accident. It is built one person, one partnership, and one hard-won milestone at a time. 💙

We are grateful for board members like Steve who believe in the mission and help Falling Forward keep recovery moving!

Frida Kahlo's birthday was earlier this week! 🎉

Some parts of recovery don’t look like rehab at first. That’s where recreational therapy can be so powerful.

Recreational therapy helps people use activities, interests, and community experiences as part of healing, whether that means rebuilding confidence, finding connection, or learning new ways to participate in life after a major medical event.

When insurance says “enough,” access to that kind of progress can be cut short. During National Recreational Therapy Week, we’re grateful for the people who help survivors keep reaching for the parts of life that make recovery feel worth fighting for. 💙

Invisible disabilities are valid!

Here’s to a day of connection, creativity, and celebration. Happy 4th! 🎇
