I received an email from a friend this morning reminding me of what his Caring Coin has meant to him. This story is a special story that I hesitated to share because this blog is about the Caring Coins Stories and not about me but I do think that his message is one that will touch many.
This is a very special guy who suffered a stroke just as he was embarking on a new career as a Comedian. His journey is an amazing one, one that has lead him to create a solo show called Brain Freeze. It is the story of his journey from when he suffered his stroke through his Rehabilitation and beyond. He has touched and helped many with his story which he continues to share in theaters and hospitals today.
“In 1997, I suffered a stroke. Salley Gibney was my insurance case manager and worked miracles with my rehab. I used to refer to her as my guardian angel. How appropriate that she should now be the founder of You Are Never Alone Foundation where she can share caring and hope with others. Now I never leave my apartment without my Angel Caring Coin. Evidence of this is the faded circle on the back pocket of my jeans that’s hard to miss. Its presence symbolizes a spiritual connection for me. Being a performer it seems to tap into that same connection where all great performances come from.”
Thank you John Kawie...
