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

The resourceful, resilient Sarah, who had advocated for others for a lifetime, was grieving deeply over the circumstances that put her into logistical, financial homelessness. 

She had read United Spinal President & CEO Vincenzo Piscopo’s letter against assisted suicide earlier in the year and shared it with people and foundations but was left with her own looming reality of having no place to go.

“Many of our members are vulnerable to suicide and can be victimized by Physician-Assisted Suicide statutes, especially while they are adjusting to living with paralysis,” wrote Enzo in that letter.

“They need long-term services and supports to live effectively in the community, and assistance in dealing with depression that often causes suicidal ideation at the onset of a traumatic disability.”
