Hi, I'm Holden
Nice to met you. I'm a 23 year old who lives in the Atlanta, GA area and my life is 1000% different than I originally planned. As a senior in High School, I had a very active life. Tons of friends, a passion for cars and the community that surrounds them, and excitement to get started on my Mechanical Engineering Degree from Kennesaw State in the fall. Sadly, four days after graduating, I was in a severe automobile accident after a young driver ran a red light and T-boned my beloved car with me in it. It was devastating. I was in a coma for several weeks, suffering a diffuse axonal brain injury, one of the worst kinds of Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) . I almost died (a couple of times), but with great medical care and prayers from an amazing community, I pulled through. Recovery hasn't been easy. I had to learn to use my left side again, walk, drink, talk, create new memories...pretty much everything. Through this unexpected journey, I've learned a lot. I want to share how a positive attitude, mental health, connection, humor, and shifting perspectives can impact everyone. Walk with me on this wild journey to healing, as they say its a marathon not a sprint. Honestly though, aren't we all just holding life together.
Our Future
I want to do more than just get our story out into the world and share our perspective. The goal is to build a safe space for young people recovering from trauma as well as their caregivers. Through our experience we found such a void for this age group with brain injuries.
We are working on creating virtual and physical places to connect and build a community where survivors and their caregivers can share challenges, resources, and above all, hope!
