Members of the aphasia community have generously shared their stories with us. Stories of their own experiences, lessons learned, and messages of hope and resilience. Scroll down to watch and listen to their stories. Then, visit our YouTube channel for more!

 

Lift Every Voice: Aboye

Aboye answers our question: “Why support the work of the NAA?”

It’s a fair question. We are asked to donate to all kinds of causes and programs that are important to us personally. We get it.
