   Mike & Jackie Moore: Trauma to Healing & The Birth of TBIRC

   Mike and Jackie Moore are lifelong Toledoans who turned a personal tragedy into a mission of hope and support for brain injury survivors throughout Northwest Ohio and beyond. Jackie, a graduate of Waite High School, and Mike, who attended St. Francis de Sales School, met in 2006 and married in 2007. Their lives changed in 2011 when Jackie suffered a traumatic brain injury in a multi-vehicle accident, leading the couple to seek treatment, participate in clinical research through the National Institutes of Health and the University of Oregon, and discover the lack of long-term support available for survivors and families. In response, they founded the Traumatic Brain Injury Resource Center (TBIRC) in 2014, the first organization of its kind in Ohio, with a mission to support survivors, caregivers, and families while increasing awareness of the impact of traumatic brain injury. Since opening its doors in 2015, TBIRC has provided free group programming with speech and occupational therapists, nutrition and wellness initiatives, food and toiletries assistance, therapeutic activities, and community outreach programs such as Serenity Sacks and handmade fleece blanket projects that benefit hospitals and local nonprofits. Through their leadership and advocacy, Mike and Jackie have helped create a compassionate community where survivors can find practical support, dignity, and renewed quality of life after brain injury.
