Hope Heals The Brain cordially invites the Tampa Bay community to a dinner celebration and auction, benefiting Queena and friends! All proceeds at the event will be donated to local families taking care of loved ones with traumatic brain injury and other neurological disabilities. Your contribution will help these families afford medical care and therapy that insurance does not cover. Tickets at hopedinner.eventbrite.com.

Can't attend? You can still participate in the silent auction and wine wall raffle on the Givebutter site!

Hope Heals The Brain Inc is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Contributions are tax-deductible. For more on Queena and her journey, visit www.joinqueena.com

Meet Queena:

Queena was brutally raped, beaten and left to die outside of a library in a suburb of Tampa, Florida in 2008. Equipped with an incredible will to survive, Queena has spent the last 15 years of her life working hard to recover from the brutal attack. Queena cannot walk independently, talk, see or eat on her own, but she continues to work hard in therapy and make improvements. Queena requires around-the-clock care and attends regular physical, occupational and experimental therapies to aid her recovery, as she slowly makes strides toward regaining her own normalcy every day. Medicare covers only physical therapy, while nearly $50,000 is required annually for all of the treatments that have helped Queena make such progress. The community can follow her journey and progress at joinqueena.com.

Queena’s sister, Anna, has started a 501c3 non-profit organization called Hope Heals The Brain Inc. in hopes to continue raising funds and awareness for families and individuals affected by traumatic brain injury in the Central Florida region.
