  1. Hi I am deeply sorry to hear about your accident and that you were so impacted as a result. My heart goes out to you. <3 Our community is centered around those who have been diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy, which is a genetic condition that results in muscle wasting. I included a link to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation -https://www.christopherreeve.org/todays-care/paralysis-help-overview/about-the-paralysis-resource-center/. The link I provided has resources, which include peer support groups. I hope this information has what you are looking for. Another option could be reaching out to your medical team and asking if they know of any local/online support groups. Kindly, Jessica, Team Member

    1. Hi, I wanted to reach out and see how you were doing? I’m very sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you were able to find some support online! I know Jessica gave you some resources above, but I also wanted to suggested possibly looking for some Facebook groups for people in similar situations. There’s quite a few for people with SMA so I’m sure there’s others! Sending you all the best. -Jennifer (Health Leader)
