InSpirit

InSpirit has been helping people living with quadriplegia in Northern California stay healthy and live at home since 1987.

InSpirit provides ongoing financial support to persons with insufficient resources for homecare so they can obtain stable, competent personal attendant care. The assistance we provide is primarily used to supplement the meager caregiver funds provided by the government. We are unique in that a large majority of the funds raised go directly to our recipients.

Our support extends far beyond financial aid. Other critical services and support include:

Urgent Needs Projects: When a recipient needs equipment such as a wheelchair or ramp, we step in and help via InSpirit’s Urgent Needs Fund.

Peer Support: We provide up-to-date information on how to access all the benefits people with quadriplegia are entitled to. Also provided: resources related to research, physical therapy, caregivers, transportation & independent living facilities.

Legislative Advocacy: InSpirit meets with legislators to inform them of our recipients’ ongoing, perilous financial positions and push for changes in the government’s program restrictions involving such critical factors as earnings allowed, value of personal assets and caregiver wage reimbursement.
