Hello!!! I'm Jason Efhan the President of the Live To Heal Foundation and I was paralyzed from my arm pits to lower extremities after a motor vehicle accident in 2006. I've been going through the toughest challenges of my life but i'm very fortunate to have the support of family and friends to help me in my efforts to heal.

However, during my hospital stay and rehabilitation, I noticed that others with spinal cord injuries (SCI) were not so fortunate. Many people with SCI had only a limited amount of therapy time and they were not pushed to their personal capabilities. Furthermore, I saw many young men and women who had been shot... often randomly, plus others who had suffered injuries related to car accidents, diving, falls or other non-related work accidents. They had very little family support, minimal or no insurance coverage and limited opportunities for continued out-patient therapy.” Accordingly, their opportunities to reach a full recovery were limited.

“Additionally, doctors, psychologists, social workers and agency personnel told me of spinal cord-injured individuals who had medical insurance but it would not cover the costs for the proper physical therapy and body/mind therapy they needed. So, they never continued physical therapy, didn’t receive any body/mind therapy, and never continued to help themselves regulate their bodies and so their quality of life slowly diminished.

So to help individuals with SCI reach a full recovery I formed the Live To Heal Foundation Inc. from my hospital room bed. It's focused on helping individuals who may have slipped through the cracks of the system as they coped with their disabilities. The intent of the Live To Heal Foundation is to help people with spinal cord injuries reach their greatest healing potential.

I know that funds are being raised for research into spinal cord injury but what I'm concerned about are the people coping with SCI on a daily basis; especially those who need more than (3) three hours a week of physical therapy. The amount of energy and resources it takes to get to an out-patient therapy center sometimes exceeds the therapy session itself. My passion is for the Live To Heal Foundation to enable individuals with spinal cord injuries to heal themselves at their own desired speed and in the comfort of their own homes.
