Name: Beverly Dlouhy on Feb 11, 2010Comments: PLEASE reconsider and amend this change. Stroke is an insult to the brain from within..and the effects and deficits require therapy and support services....that help diminish long term needs such as disability payments, healthcare aides, increased medical care, etc. Stroke is a brain injury! The TBI Fund has helped MANY and should be continued for Stroke patients---NJ is so fortunate to have such a Fund- and we should use it for ALL brain injured individuals.Flag

If each NJ motorist paid another $.50 fee, thousands of stroke and TBI survivors could have a chance of contributing to society once again.Flag

Name: Kelly Ann Young on Feb 12, 2010Comments: Without this fund so many of our family members would not be where they are today as insurance limitations are terrible! $0.50 may not save a life but it can certainly change a life. Please, please, please do not cut this fund!Flag

Name: Ellen Kelly on Feb 12, 2010Comments: In this time of fiscal hardship, it is unreasonable to deny support services to extremely vulnerable people. Certainly 50 cents a year is something NJ residents would be willing to pay to insure a second chance at a quality life for people coping with the after affects of stroke.Flag

The intelligence is there and can they become 'alive' again when soclal activities are available. The many varied activities they participate in at the Adler Aphasia Center have proven that they and their families have benefitedFlag

Name: John Ronald Woolcott on Feb 12, 2010Comments: I wish that the TBI Fund would keep going because I have had a Stroke and Aphasia since April 1996 and I have been with the Fund for the last 3 years and they have bought me quite a bit of items that I normally couldn't afford. eq: a walker,, an Electric Scoote. a Personal Computer which I feel without the Fund I could not have afforded it. Now with the Fund I want to take Driving Lessons this summer and then finally the Road Test. I hope to get a Part Time job after I get my drivers License and then I will get a Car (Not that I expect TBI to pay for it, I don't) but with my License I can afford to buy a car. Also with my Drivers License I can afford to go back to Adler Aphasia Center in Maywood NJ. With the small amount of $.50 per car that is such a small amount to ask for, I don't feel that we should afford not to do it.. I also feel that the small amount of $ .50 per car is a worth while investment into the future of us people that have a stroke. So us that lost our Driving privelege's can get back on the Road again, and the NJ Govt will bring in the extra $.Flag

Name: Michele Spinazzola on Feb 12, 2010Comments: The TBI fund has been a great funding resource for our patients and without it many patients will be losing a very viable funding source. The fund is cutting back to traumatic brain injury only (head injuries from falls, motor vehicle accidents, assaults). However patients that had brain injuries from stroke, aneurysm, brain tumors, etc.. will no longer qualify for this funding. I have used this funding to help get many patients services (e.g. vision therapy, PT, OT) and devices for their homes in order to be independent such as alarms, palm pilots. This funding has also helped patients pay for special adaptive equipment such as wheelchairs. We need help petitioning this so that all brain injured patients can have access to this funding resource.Flag

Name: Emily Lyons MA, MS, OTR/L on Feb 12, 2010Comments: I am an Occupational Therapist, and also the daughter of a stroke survivor. I know first hand how stroke can devistate the lives of individuals, and that most insurance plans are not adequate to meet the needs of those individuals with moderate to severe strokes. I recently moved to NJ and found out about the TBI fund, and was very impressed that there were options for stroke and other acquired brain injury patients who had used up their (often meager) insurance benefits. I would hate to see stroke patients lose access to this. A large number of them will require more extensive rehabilitation services than they are able to obtain with their insurance or savings to maximize their functional independence.Flag
