Back in 2010, a couple of computer geeks (Tina Arnoldi and Michael Carnell) saw a number of nonprofits struggling with their technology and lacking the funds to pay for support. Their mission is to provide technology support, training, and resources to the South Carolina Lowcounty not-for-profit community. Through their website, local nonprofits can submit a request for tech support. Their services are volunteer based and free of charge, so that nonprofits can save their money for the things that really matter.
Is your nonprofit struggling? Are donations down and expenses up? Are you spending your nonprofit’s hard earned money on tech support which could be used toward furthering its mission? Could your agency benefit from free tech trainings or webinars on tools and techniques to further expand its message? Does your nonprofit need help with broken hardware, unruly databases, software, network implementation and Google tools? Listen to today’s Joy Radio Show here and see how other local nonprofits – Charleston HALO, Increasing HOPE and Junior Achievement of Coastal SC are bringing an end to their shrinking funds by utilizing the services of Palmetto Technology Fund (PATH).

Considering the facts listed below it is inconceivable that Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is not a household name like Susan G. Komen’s Race for the Cure. Rep. Gabrielle Gifford’s horrific tragedy shines light on the devastating facts that TBI is the number one world-wide cause for death and disability. Every 23 seconds a brain injury occurs. Was the Gifford family ready for their loved one to become a TBI statistic? Are you? I know I wasn’t when my son’s motorcycle collided into an on-coming pickup truck, instantly changing his life… my life in an instant.
Rep. Gifford is now responding to simple commands. I remember those days all too well. Yet the days that followed moved from despair to hope and back again.
Looking back into the pain and uncertainty of that unforeseeable event, I wish there was a book written by someone who walked in these same shoes… someone who could give me a day to day account of the roller-coaster-ride ahead. I needed hope. I needed something to hold onto.
In lieu of that, I began journaling. If I couldn’t read, I could write. And I did… I wrote it all down, the good, the bad, and yes, sometimes the ugly. Now I’m on a journey to publish the story of our own family’s tragedy and subsequent miracle. I look forward to sharing more with you in the days and weeks to come.
