Able Faith Giving Tuesday 2023
$0 Raised
On December 11, 2013, Riley Sprowl, ABLE Faith co-founder, had a sledding accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down at 16. Â Rileyâs family, friends, and community support after his tragic accident was vital to his success in adapting to the challenges of having a disability. Â Almost eight years later, Rileyâs robust support system, faith, and belief that God has a plan have been crucial to his continued success. Â Â
A couple of years later, in December 2015, Jose Martinez, also an ABLE Faith co-founder, began working at a neuro activity-based training center as an Activity-Based Therapist, where Riley had been training to improve his physical strength. Â Jose became one of Rileyâs trainers, assisting him in increasing his strength, independence, and quality of life. Â After four years of working out together, they noticed that other clients who had a strong faith and support system were more likely to rejoin society regardless of the challenges with a disability.
During the summer of 2020, Riley and Jose felt called to start ABLE Faith, a registered 501c3, to be a beacon of hope to the community of people with disabilities and their caregivers. Â Having no prior experience or knowledge of starting a nonprofit, they took a leap of faith and established ABLE Faith on June 17, 2020. Â
