“We are extremely grateful to the Wells Fargo Foundation for their generous contribution,” says Martin Foil, executive director of Hinds’ Feet Farm. “We are working hard to create systemic change in North Carolina and thanks to the Wells Fargo Foundation; we will be able to serve the men and women who have honored us by serving our country.” 

The Wells Fargo grant will provide an opportunity for veterans to participate in Hinds’ Feet Farm’s innovative, community-based and post-rehabilitation day programs held at its Huntersville and Asheville locations.

Awareness of traumatic brain injury and the life-altering effects it has on survivors and their families has increased in recent years. This increased awareness is largely attributed to brain injuries suffered by troops serving in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and to survivors such as journalist Bob Woodruff and Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford and their families who are championing the cause.

Scholarships for veterans will be awarded based on need and on a first-come, first-served basis. Brain injury need not be directly service related.
