A Brave State of Mind
While most 18-year-olds spend the summer after high school graduation celebrating and prepping for college, I was undergoing brainstem surgery and the cumbersome journey of recovery.
To be honest, I am about as Type A as they come, personality-wise. Not being able to be in complete control of situations is difficult for me. When I was going through my surgery, it was an experience that was completely out of my control, as my entire body was putting me to the test. Through all the unpredictable hurdles I had to endure, I realized that the one thing I could still control was my own mindset.
We may not always be able to choose what happens to us in life, but we can always choose to be brave.
— Alyssa Carfi, Founder & President
While Brave Minds Project focuses on serving a forgotten demographic – individuals in their pre-teen through early adulthood living with brain and brainstem conditions – we feel it is our responsibility to help all individuals, regardless of financial status, age, and ethnicity. In order to do this, we have developed the Margarita’s Fund Scholarship. The fund will benefit families of children living with a brain or brain stem condition.
