Visit Our Website
ConnectAbility was founded in 2016 as an initiative of the Warm Springs Foundation to assist people who had experienced a catastrophic injury such as a Traumatic Brain Injury, Spinal Cord Injury, Amputation, Stroke or other similar debilitating injury or disability to regain their independence, improve quality of life and move forward in their “new normal”. We offer Care Coordination- navigating individuals through complex medical and insurance systems, connecting them to community resources, and in many cases, assisting with financial resources when there is no other source of payment. In addition, we offer multiple support groups for individuals and their families with various disabilities, peer mentoring, and caregiver supports such as counseling for a loved one whose role is now as a caretaker. . All of these services are free of charge to a person of any age and are provided in Bexar and the contiguous 7 counties.
ConnectAbility became a standalone 501c3 in 2021 with a projected budget for this year, just above $1M
Since our inception in 2016, we have served over 1000 individuals through Care Coordination, and over 1,700 individuals in our other service offerings such as support groups and social events held for individuals with the disability and their family members.
ConnectAbility is asking for SSFCU’s support for our Crisis Fund. Our Crisis Fund is accessed by our Care Coordinators to assist individuals financially when there is no other payment source. We have purchased ramps and installation, home modifications (door widening, restroom accessibility, etc.), prescription medication, physician copays, transportation costs for rides to physician appointments, durable medical equipment and supplies, etc. In 2022, we provided $86,000 in crisis funds to clients and their families, serving 328 individuals (individuals and their family members).
