Your Generosity Ensures No One is Alone

rainbow heart inside heart outlineAs I reflect on Schurig Center’s 35 years, I am inspired and energized by the healing power of a caring community. I hope this note will also lift your spirits by reminding you of the good that you personally help make possible even in these toughest of times. Because of you, no one is alone.

“I’d be terrible.” That’s how John, a stroke survivor, described what life would be like for him without you.

John has severe aphasia, a paralyzed arm, and is unable to read and write. He also lives alone and is confined to his apartment during shelter-in-place. But, happily, John is able to stay connected and continue his recovery in Schurig Center’s speech group, computer class, and art therapy, which are now offered remotely and are powered by your generosity. In the words of his sister, Augusta, these services you help provide are “lifesaving” for John and a “huge relief” for his family.

Together, we’re helping more people.

Despite the pandemic, people are still getting brain injuries. We are still receiving new calls for help. And, the costs to provide services has not changed. Remote services have enabled people outside the Bay Area to attend our programs, and we’ve added a second survivor support group. Over 455 people this past year have been helped by our array of services. While we are serving more people than ever before, 70% of our clients live on a low income and rely on scholarships funded by community members, like you, to access care.

There is much need right now, and I know you are likely receiving many asks. But, if you are in a position to help, I hope you will donate to Schurig Center today as you make your holiday charitable gifts and give as generously as you can.

Your gift by December 31 helps ensure that your fellow community members living with a brain injury stay healthy, connected, and knowing they are not alone. Thank you!

With gratitude,
Patricia Gill, MS
Executive Director

A Fun Night of Community Connection at Perry’s on Magnolia

Perry's LogoSchurig Center would like to extend a very warm thank you to everyone who joined us on July 12 for cocktails at Perry’s on Magnolia as our guest bartender Schurig Center Board member Catherine Way tried her hand at ‘mixology’ behind the bar. It was a wonderful night of community connection!

Special thanks to Catherine for donating her tips from the evening to benefit hope and healing at Schurig Center and…very, very special thanks to Perry Butler and the awesome staff at Perry’s on Magnolia for welcoming our community of friends for the evening.

Please join us in thanking Perry’s by stopping in at the restaurant for drinks and dinner sometime soon. Cheers!
