SHE CONSIDERED SUICIDE BUT FOUND US — AND HOPE – INSTEAD

OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORT TEAM RALLIED AROUND A PERSON

AT WIT’S END – LITERALLY SAVING HER LIFE


Sarah’s lifetime of advocacy familiarized her with United Spinal, especially its Community Support group, formerly the Resource Center.

After the webinar, she reached out and soon had a whole team behind her: Matt Castelluccio, Vice President of Community Support; Lindsey Elliott, Senior Director of Community and Peer Support; Stephen Lieberman, Director, Advocacy & Policy; and Jane Wierbicky, Nurse Information Specialist.

“Some organizations meant to help people are short-staffed, so the person seeking assistance gets passed from one resource to another.

Or they reach voicemail, not a person,” says Jane. 

“What sets us apart is that we are a small team, but we try to get people on the phone to hear them out. 

We are not miracle workers but doing it with passion and human feeling is what people get from United Spinal.”
