Did you know 15 million people suffer from stroke worldwide each year – 5 million die and another 5 million are permanently disabled.  Stroke is the 5th leading cause of death and 1st leading cause of disability in the United States. On average someone in the USA has a stroke every 40 seconds. These are devastating statistics! Strokes don’t only happen to our Grandparents! 

A Stroke can happen to anyone, at any age, even an unborn baby!

 

Do you know what Aphasia is? A condition characterized by either partial or total loss of the ability to communicate verbally or using written words. Due to brain trauma, injury or Stroke, a person with Aphasia may have difficulty speaking, reading, writing, recognizing names of objects or understanding what people have said. Can you imagine? -  

Aphasia is a "silent" life changing effect of stroke or brain trauma!

 

By knowing the warning signs of stroke and getting help within the first 4-1/2 hours of onset it can be successfully treated.  Unfortunately, the signs of stroke are too often not recognized, especially in a young person.  Education in what to look for can save lives (Physically / Emotionally)  and this is where the Language of Love Mission for Stroke and Aphasia Awareness come into play.

 

Inception of Language of Love Foundation:

Founder and President of the Language of Love Foundation, RenéMarie, had a massive Stroke at the age of 26, and suffered from Aphasia. After a long recovery, RenéMarie shared her experience in writing the book "Stroke of Luck", and is now giving back to the community and world through her RenéMarie Language of Love Foundation Inc. www.renemarielanguageoflove.org & Internet TV Show, www.renemariestrokeoflucktv.com.

 

Money should not be the determining factor in recovery.

 

Language of Love Foundation’s Purpose!

 

Along with awareness and our annual Telethon, RenéMarie’s Language of Love Foundation’s  mission / purpose   is to extend support to patients and  “To bring HOPE through Love and Music, as well as to  Raise  Financial Aid for those whose insurance coverage has ended. Money should not be the determining factor in recovery”. Rehabilitation is tragically underfunded! It ultimately brings tension and stress to loved ones.

 

We cannot do this alone and this is where you come in.  With your support we can continue to make a positive and crucial impact! We are asking for your organization, company or hospital to partner with us.
