Forge Forward Fund
Sometimes life throws you a horrible curveball
Our goal is trying to help assist these individuals in reintegrating into their daily lives, returning to their homes, and resuming their professions.
Our Mission
Serious injuries makes both the injured and their families and caregivers face unexpected life-changing challenges, especially if those injuries resulting in some form of paralysis.
The fund is initially dedicated to supporting Czech blacksmith Daniel Cerny, who serves as our index patient, along with other Czech artisans in the black crafts community. Our primary goal is to help ensure that these talented individuals, along with their families and caregivers, have access to the best possible medical care and support services. We recognize the unique challenges that disabled artists face, and we are committed to providing resources for their rehabilitation and overall well-being. By focusing on the needs of these craftsmen, we aim to empower them and enhance their quality of life, allowing them to continue their invaluable contributions to the arts. Through this initiative, we hope to build a stronger community that values and uplifts its artisans, ensuring they receive the care and assistance they deserve.
Finding out what actually happened is also important. The primary objective of our new research is to examine Daniel's treatment and revalidation process as a case study.
Initial findings indicate that various options for a quicker recovery were overlooked in his case.
Analysing Daniel's journey can provide valuable insights into improving coordination among health institutions involved in the care of similar patients. It is essential to explore how integrating multiple levels of revalidation treatments, even during intensive care, can enhance patient outcomes. By fostering better cooperation among different medical stations, we aim to identify gaps in treatment protocols and establish more effective strategies for ensuring comprehensive care, ultimately leading to improved recovery rates for future patients in comparable situations.
