The Thomas E. Smith Foundation is fully committed to designing and implementing the necessary strategies for the benefit of all injured persons, including the strategies that result from creativity and willingness to take risks.

The average lifetime out-of-pocket for a spinal cord injury (SCI) can range from $1 million to $6 million, based on age and level of injury. Given the significant physical, social, and financial impacts on individuals, families, and caretakers, coupled with the approximately 18,000 new cases and 302,000 people living with spinal cord injury (SCI) in the United States each year, it’s clear that this healthcare equity issue is severely underserved.

The Thomas E. Smith Foundation aims to ensure that no one is denied essential healthcare equipment, physical therapy, or other services. We partner with top organizations to improve quality of care and hopefully one day, find a cure for paralysis.

We are committed to providing state-of-the-art equipment and resources necessary to enhance the mobility and access to the daily world of all persons, regardless of the extent of individual needs.

Your donation will be directed toward projects that will assist those in need. On behalf of TESF, thank you for “Stepping Forward Together”!
