\nIn July 2020\, Sierra Longmoore suffered a severe traumatic brain injury and wasn&rsquo\;t expected to survive. Not only did Sierra survive\, but she also exceeded expectations. Sierra&rsquo\;s miraculous recovery inspired a donor to contribute the rare baseball
\nmemorabilia\, including the three signed baseballs\, to be used to raise funds for the nonprofit.
\n
\nIn February 2023\, Unmask the Invisible was designated a 501(c)3. As Amy began connecting with other caregivers\, patterns emerged that revealed unmet needs for survivors\, caregivers\, and siblings. The nonprofit aims to fill gaps in TBI support\,
\nlaunching programs focused on art\, community connection\, spiritual resources\, and reintegration. Instrumental in Sierra&rsquo\;s rehabilitation was the transformative power of art. Scientific research is demonstrating the profound benefits of art to the brain. It&rsquo\;s valuable for both TBI survivors and the families that support them. Unmask the Invisible&rsquo\;s Sierra Project houses several art-based programs as connectivity and engagement tools.
\n
\nThe most resilient caregivers have both a community rallied around them and have built relationships with other caregivers who understand the journey. Siblings of the traumatically brain-injured\, especially young teens\, suffer alone with no
\nprograms to connect them to other siblings in the TBI community. Unmask the Invisible manages two private Facebook groups for caregivers and siblings to strengthen and build a voice to advocate and educate others.
\n
\nDisabilities and physical scars may fade\, but internal challenges persist long after injury\, making managing school\, work\, and relationships complex. Unmask the Invisible is collaborating with providers\, schools\, employers\, caregivers\, and survivors to
\ncreate in-person and online education about reintegration to unmask this invisible side of TBI.
