Sarah rain Warsylewicz

Sarah sustained a brain injury in a car accident in 1995 when she was 16 years old. After a 5 month long coma, Sarah began her slow rehabilitation, having to re-learn many of the bodily functions that we take for granted, such as swallowing, eating, taking a deep breath, moving her limbs purposefully, and initiating words and actions.

Family, friends, therapists, and teachers continually help Sarah along this road towards recovery. Her loving nature and gentle sense of humor are endearing. Sarah is confined to a wheelchair but is able to walk with one assisting. Although Sarah is non-verbal, she can mouth words and does speak an occasional word. Fortunately, she did not lose her ability to read and write, and can express herself through poetry and painting. She requires some hand-over-hand assistance with drawing and painting, but able to write on her own.

The joy and sense of accomplishment Sarah receives from her art are wonderful.
